Butterfly Tattoos
The Butterfly is true wonder of Nature. It leads a short,
yet amazingly eventful life and undergoes a drastic transformation in a
relatively limited space of time. As a result, butterflies are
often associated with Rebirth and Resurrection. In Christianity, the
butterfly represents Christ's resurrection and his ascension to heaven.
Butterflies are also symbols of Love and Spirituality. The Greek word
for butterfly is psyche, after the goddess Psyche, the goddess of the
Soul. Psyche is often depicted with the wings of a butterfly and,
according to Greek mythology, she fell madly in love and married Eros,
the Greek god of Love, Desire, and Affection. You may better know Eros
by his Roman name, Cupid.
