Unicorn
The
Unicorn is a mythical white horse or pony with a single horn.
Unicorns were a symbol
of purity and innocence
in European mythology. As legend had it, only a virgin girl
could "capture" a Unicorn, and many Renaissance tapestries
and paintings show the Unicorn with its head on the lap of
a maiden. As a symbol of purity, Unicorns have been shown
with the Virgin Mary, Her protector, and protector and companion
of all maidens.
