独角兽少女-海伦故事大师
-The maiden embracing the unicorn is an allegory of purity or chastity. Unseizable animal could be tamed by a virgin only: the animal became meek at her sight and laid its head in her lap where the hunters could easily capture it. The church fathers equated the unicorn with Christ and the maiden with Mary. The story thus received a Christian interpretation: it referred to the Saviour, incarnated in the womb of the virgin and captured by his earthly pursuers. The horn became a symbol of divine strength, the unity with the Father and the all-penetrating Word of God. A great number of illustrations of this popular medieval subject survive. In them, the maiden or the Virgin Mary herself often appears in a closed garden symbolic of virginity.
