Fragments of a tetramorph are ...depicted on the edge of the bead. Tetramorph in Christian doctrine and theology is a winged creature from the vision of the prophet Ezekiel, one with four faces: a man, a lion, a bull, and an eagle. Later, these animals were interpreted as symbols of the four evangelists, and the term "tetramorph" was used to describe their iconography. The creatures became the symbols of the evangelists and the form of their traditional symbolic image: Matthew is in the image of an angel, Mark is in the image of a lion, Luke is in the image of a calf, and John is in the image of an eagle. Each of them is winged and holds the gospel. The evangelists are apostles, the authors of the four canonical Gospels - Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. All of them were from different places and had different professions. Matthew was a tax collector and preached in Ethiopia, Mark was the first bishop of the Alexandrian church, Luke was a doctor, and John was a fisherman. Matthew, Mark, and Luke were martyrs and only John died his own death. All evangelists are patron saints of certain professions. St. Luke is a patron of artists, physicians, bachelors, surgeons, students, and butchers. St. Matthew is a patron of accountants, tax collectors, bankers, perfumers, and civil servants. St Mark takes care of barristers, St. John is a patron of authors, booksellers, burn victims, poison victims, art dealers, editors, publishers, scribes, examinations, scholars, and theologians. A bracelet or a necklace made from these beads can be a nice gift to any Christian, but if you want to be original you can give this gift to any of the representatives of the professions the four evangelists take care of.
