Large marble statue of Saint Luke the evangelist

Saint Luke the Evangelist, one of the four authors of the canonical Gospels in the New Testament. This statue of Saint Luke is hand-carved with a bull, which is visible at his feet. This symbolism comes from the tetramorph, where each of the four Evangelists is associated with a living creature from the Book of Ezekiel and the Book of Revelation: Matthew with a man, Mark with a lion, Luke with a bull, and John with an eagle.

The bull symbolizes the sacrifice and strength, reflecting the aspects of Christ's sacrifice and resurrection, which Saint Luke emphasizes in his Gospel. Additionally, Luke is often portrayed as a physician, which relates to his profession before becoming an evangelist, and he may also be shown writing or holding a book, representing the Gospel according to Luke.
