The Pelican in Her Piety is a medieval image of a mother pelican piercing her chest to feed her young with her own blood. It is a Christian symbol for Jesus's death on the cross.
Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. (John 6:54-56)
