| Man (Winged) | |
 |
The winged man is a symbol of St. Matthew because he began his gospel with a genealogy of Jesus. The figure of the winged man is taken from the vision of Ezekiel of four "living creatures". (See also Eagle.) Shown holding a sword and scales, the figure is instead a symbol of the Archangel Michael. |
