The GRIFFIN has a colorful and ancient history as an icon and symbol. Two aspects of its lore make it an appealing symbol for our school’s mascot. First, in the 14th century the Griffin was used as a representation for Christ. The eagle and lion represented the two natures of Christ: God and Man. Secondly, in British heraldry, the Griffin has been a recurring symbol of bravery and courage. As Redeemer trains children, it is our hope they will be like a “flock” of Griffins, displaying humility and courage as they pursue the true, the beautiful and the good in our community.
