Includes both stories of the hunt of the unicorn and the unicorn and the lake.

  • The Unicorn

    is a Christian figure, ultimately symbolizing Jesus Christ in that is is pure, gentle, meek, yet strong.

  • The Serpent

    is always a symbol of Satan and of course the enemy of the unicorn. It is sneaky, slimy, deceitful, and just plain evil.

  • The Maiden

    represents Mary, the mother of Jesus Christ. She is young, beautiful, and pure.

  • The Hunters

    are the followers of Satan: evil and murderous.

  • The Animals

    are the followers of Christ: humble and believing.

  • The Lake

    is the sins of the world, atoned for by Christ. It is poisonous and filthy.
