Has a medieval legend of hungry young pelican quarreling the food hurt the father, This turn of hits and kills; three days after the mother reaches the nest found dead pups, pecked chest and blood scattered on the birds opens him back to life.

symbolically, love is represented in iconography with the image of a pelican opening the chest to feed their young with their blood. This metaphor applies to Christ, with his blood, shed for us, redeems us for salvation. That's why we pelican appears at the foot of the cross (at the back) of the Holy Christ of Love.
