Lion of Judah


So here is the doorway to another home in our neighborhood. The entrance is marked with two lions - the Lions of Judah.


The Lion of Judah is also on the emblem of Jerusalem - as the city is located within the boundaries of the biblical tribal province of Judah, and has made its way in Christian, Ethiopian and Rastafarian iconography.


Since my name is Daniel - its easy to understand todays facination with lions...I just hope I removed all the typos which read "loins"!


Enjoy the rest of your week.

An interesting account. I have read all about Daniel in the Lions Den but wasn't so familiar with the Lions of Judah.
