Summary
The pelican represents wisdom, focus, self-sacrifice, and nurture. In Christian tradition, the pelican piercing its own breast to feed its young with blood symbolizes Christ's sacrifice. Pelicans partially digest food and regurgitate it for their young, embodying nurture. Their large beaks symbolize abundance and the ability to hold/contain large amounts.
