The pelican in Christian iconography

Just as the pelican gives its life for its young, wounding itself in its own breast, Christ gives his life for us so that we may have eternal life; our soul cannot live without the nourishment of the EUCHARIST.

The Eucharistic hymn "Adoro te devote" calls Christ Jesu Pie PelicaneGracious pelican Jesus, cleanse me, unclean one, with your blood, of which a single drop can save the whole world.
