Description
Pictured is a Baptismal font of dark green Vert Issorie Italian marble topped with a bronze grouping of two peacocks drinking from a vase inside Christ the King Catholic Church in Dallas, Texas. This symbol was found on many Byzantine sarcophagi and is symbolic of the waters of life, or of life and salvation through the sacraments. Legend tells that the flesh of the peacock does not decay. Hence the peacock is the symbol of immortality.
