The BUTTERFLY is used as a symbol of transformation because of its mutation from a larva in a cocoon to a vibrant and colorful insect. During the ancient era, the Egyptians and the Greeks placed golden butterflies on tombs to represent resurrection, rebirth and immortality. In Christian symbolism in art, it represents resurrection through its process of metamorphosis:
Caterpillar – human form, Cocoon/Chrysalis – death, Butterfly – spirit
METAMORPHOSIS
The mystery of evolution
Life's continuous state of transformation
The turbulent voyage
While facing unpredictable uncertainties
Where do we draw our strength
What hope do our hearts possess
Which faith shall we believe in
Who shall we depend upon
For your answers will dictate
As your destiny awaits
To plummet or to rise
To perish or survive
There is only one way to endure
Life's incessant trials and tribulations
Draw, hope, believe, depend
On God and God alone
Then the promise of life
Like a ray through an aperture
From a chrysalis you shall emerge
A metamorphosed creature of light
