The peacock is a symbol of immortality because the ancients believed that the peacock had flesh that did not decay after death. As such, early Christian paintings and mosaics use peacock imagery, and peacock feathers can be used during the Easter season as church decorations. This symbol of immortality is also directly linked to Christ.
@genesis_one Really? I have never heard that before. I have never seen peacock feathers used at Easter, but it sure would be pretty! @randystreat@thresheg Thanks so much for the FAV! @aat3877@annika82@digitalrn Thanks! @joansmor Yes, they said it was mating season, so the males were strutting around. I didn't see very many females. They seemed to stay hidden.
