Butterfly Urns
Butterflies are not only delicate and beautiful, but also in many cultures symbolize the ideas of transformation and new life.
"And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord,are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit."
- II Corinthians 3:18
In ancient Greek the word for butterfly is "psyche," which means "soul." In Japan (as well as many other countries), the butterfly is often seen as a personification of an individual's soul. The association with souls is easily identifiable; the butterfly begins as an unattractive caterpillar then effectively "dies" to the world upon entering its cocoon only to find "new life" as an astoundinly beautiful butterfly.
Beyond the sybolism, many people simply love butterflies and find delight in the gentle fluttering multi-colored wings of the delicate butterfly.
