• An Old World Christmas Glass Ornament

For centuries it was believed that the eagle could look directly into the sun and that it was reborn by diving into a fountain. Christians adopted this symbolism, comparing the eagle looking into the sun to Christ looking at His Father and the fountain as the renewal of the soul through baptism. Today, an eagle may often be spied on the baptismal fonts in older churches. This glass Bald Eagle ornament is perched on a textured base with a feather textured chest and wings that are accented with gold glitter.
