The Ox is The Gospel of St. Luke's Symbol

      "St. Luke's is the Gospel for the Greeks, the Gospel of the future, the Gospel of progressive Christianity, of the universality and gratuitousness of the Gospel, the historic Gospel, the Gospel of Jesus as the Good Physician and Savior of Mankind." 
       His emblem is the ox: expressing power and sacrifice, Christ's priestly and mediatorial office.
