ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Tetramorph

Okay, so have you ever seen a picture of four animals all mixed together? That's called a tetramorph! It's like the animals are all friends and decided to combine their bodies to make one cool creature.

Here's the really cool part: each of these animals represents a different Gospel writer in the Christian Bible. A man is represented by Matthew, a lion represents Mark, an ox represents Luke, and an eagle represents John. Together, they make up the tetramorph, which is often used as a symbol in Christian art and architecture to show that all four Gospels are important and work together.

So, it's like having four really good friends who are all different but work together to make a beautiful creation. In this case, the beautiful creation is the tetramorph, and it helps us remember the importance of the different Gospel writers and their unique perspectives on Jesus.
