Matthew, Mark, Luke and John
Who are the Four Evangelists? They are - the winged man, the lion, the ox and the eagle and they come from the vision of Ezekiel in the Old Testament where he described four strange creatures with wings. The Book of Revelation, Chapter 4, in the New Testament of the Holy Bible elaborates upon the creatures separating them into individuals, and down through the centuries the mystical beasts have come to symbolize the four Evangelists; Saint Matthew being the man, Saint Mark the lion, Saint Luke the ox and Saint John the eagle. Each of these animals is the supreme being of its kind. The eagle is the king of all birds, the lion reigns supreme amongst wild animals, the ox is the superior of all domestic animals and man has dominion over things of the earth. All four of these creatures bow down and worship Christ who is the king of all things. In another interpretation the man represents Christ’s humility, the ox His sacrifice, the lion His Resurrection and the eagle Christ’s divinity.

Revelation, Chapter 4:
6: … round about the throne, were four beasts full of eyes before and behind.
7: And the first beast was like a lion, and the second beast like a calf, and the third beast had a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a flying eagle.
8: And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come.
9: And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,
10: The four and twenty elders fall down before him that sat on the throne, and worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
11: Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.
