Peacocks

In the western world the peacock is often considered a symbol of pride. But in the ancient church, as well as in the Orthodox Church today (perhaps others, but especially here), it is a symbol of resurrection. When a peacock molts, his tail feathers are replaced by a new set more glorious and brilliant than what he lost.
