The fluttering, colorful winged critter flitting from plant to plant are Easter symbols. The stages of a butterfly's life reflects the life of Jesus, according to Christian beliefs.
- The caterpillar stage signifies Jesus' birth.
- The cocoon stage represents Jesus' crucifixion and temporary absence from the living world.
- The emergence of and transformation to a butterfly is reflective of Jesus' Â resurrection.
- And the butterfly's flight toward the sky mirrors Jesus'Â rise toward the heaven.
