Some symbolic attributes of Christ:
“synthesis of the basic symbols of the universe—Heaven and Earth through his two natures, divine and human; Fire and Air by his descent into Hell and his ascension into Heaven; the tomb and the resurrection; the cross, the Gospel book of life; the axis and centre of the world; the ladder of salvation—all symbols of verticality, of light, of the centre, of the axis and so on.”
