Description
In Christianity, the butterfly symbolizes the resurrection of Christ and of believers and is seen especially around Easter celebrations and Christian funerals.
"For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed." (1 Corinthians 15:52b)
The caterpillar disappears into a cocoon, appearing dead, just as Christ was laid in the tomb after the crucifixion. Later, it emerges, having transformed into something more beautiful and powerful than it was.
"So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." (1 Corinthians 15:42-44)

Yoonhee, your paintings are exquisite, including this beauty. I was drawn to it, and after reading your lovely description and the comforting Scriptures, this is wonderful confirmation. My dear Mother passed away recently, and on her memorial program cover was a picture of a butterfly. Your caption so wonderfully describes how this symbolizes resurrection life in Jesus Christ, Whom my dear Mom received into her heart and is now in heaven. God's special blessings on this masterpiece. Lovely work! F/L
