"Ch Ch Ch Changes" - Mark 9:2-9 - (February 11, Transfiguration Sunday)
I remember walking through the woods near our house several times in the Fall, trying to find a cocoon. We studied about it in science. I wanted to find one, put it in a jar, and watch it turn from caterpillar to butterfly. I never found one, and I never saw it happen.
In the early Christian church, the symbol for the resurrection was, you guessed it, a butterfly. Before becoming a butterfly, a caterpillar falls into a death-like swoon and encloses itself in a tomb-like casing only to emerges later a beautiful butterfly. The early Christian symbol was an expression of faith, that believers too will awaken from their sleep with new lives in transformed glorified bodies, as was Christ when He walked out of the tomb. The transformation process from caterpillar to butterfly is called metamorphosis.
