The Butterfly is true wonder of Nature. It leads a short, yet amazingly eventful life and undergoes a drastic transformation in a relatively limited space of time. As a result, butterflies are often associated with Rebirth and Resurrection. In Christianity, the butterfly represents Christ's resurrection and his ascension to heaven.

Butterflies are also symbols of Love and Spirituality. The Greek word for butterfly is psyche, after the goddess Psyche, the goddess of the Soul. Psyche is often depicted with the wings of a butterfly and, according to Greek mythology, she fell madly in love and married Eros, the Greek god of Love, Desire, and Affection. You may better know Eros by his Roman name, Cupid.
