The image of the lion holds special significance in both the Orthodox and Roman Catholic Churches.
Firstly, the lion is a symbol of King David and also one of the twelve tribal emblems of the descendants who wrestled with God, as there are numerous metaphors and images of lions in the scriptures.
The Winged Lion is the symbol of Sea Blue's patron Saint, Saint Marco, and this image is depicted on the banners of the Vineta army.
Another Saint, Jerome, has an even closer connection to lions. Legend has it that he once removed a thorn from a lion's paw, and from then on, the lion stayed by his side, which was considered a miracle.
There are also stories of two other Saints who were accompanied by lions.
It was precisely because of Saint Jerome's precedent that the fact that Reed, a mendicant monk, had a lion by his side was readily accepted by the vast majority of believers without any difficulty.
