Four Gospels

Traditionally, it was Saint Irenaeus in the 2nd Century who first assigned symbols to the four authors of the Gospel accounts:
     Mark was a lion, Luke was an ox, John was an eagle, and Matthew was a  
winged man.

These were named in analogy to the four beasts described in Ezekiel 1:10 and Revelation 4:7.
