 There is so much interest in placing lion statues in the garden or the front entrances of a home. Despite the predatory behavior of lions, people tend to enjoy placing lion statues in their garden and for those who can afford the price, bronze and marble lion statues are greatly favored. So, what is the reason for wanting to have lion statues to grace the doorstep of a home? The lion bears a symbolic meaning to many cultures and are highly prized animal statues that hold meaning in the Italian culture. For instance, in the city of Venice, the lion has been considered to be synonymous with the Venetian flag and is cast as a symbol of protection, courage and strength. Because of the influence of lions in Italian culture which goes back to the ancient Roman Empire, the lion is used to adorn door knockers and statues with much interest given to adopting the use of the mythological griffins which composes of body parts of the lion and are seen in a fiercesome form symbolizing courage, leadership and strength. The power of the lion is inherent in the griffin which appears frequently on the coats, arms and flags of the noble and highly respected families of Europe. In Venice,

the lion is also used in artistic expressions and the highest honor recognized at the Venice Film Festival is the Golden Lion or known as the Leone d’Oro in Italian. The other landmark that has fashioned a lot of modern day interest is modeled after this animal in the form of a griffin, a symbolic expression of Saint Mark the Evangelist, the patron saint of Venice. Every year, thousands of visitors make their trip to St. Mark’s Basilica (or Basilica di San Marco, as it’s known in Italian) to observe the saint’s relics which are housed in this basilica. It is said that early Christians used animals to symbolize the four Gospels of Christ, with Mark being associated with the lion. According to the story, Saint Mark was thrown to the lions and survived. Legend has it that the lions fell asleep at his feet while he pet them. It is this and the dream of Saint Mark seeing a winged lion that has caused the people to set up the Lion of Saint Mark atop the basilica which is the guardian for the city of Venice.

Because of the symbolism of the lion in Christianity called the Lion of Judah, the Catholics and Christians often keep a lion statue in their home or garden because it symbolizes the time when Jesus would return to the earth to gather more believers. One also needn’t look too far to find lions used in some form of artistic representation sometimes featured in the Venetian masks called Venezia Maschere where members of the aristocracy would hide their faces with sometimes lion inspired masks to visit bars and clubs without the chance of being recognized by the public. In other cultures like that found in China, the lion statues act as guardians, defending homes against accidents and theft. For Buddhists, lion statues are said to bring peace and prosperity, while in Italy, they symbolize power and prestige. The ancient Egyptians also placed a lot of importance in using lion statues where they were often used to guard temples and tombs. According to the ancient Egyptians, lions are considered to protect the dead and their interest in lion statues could have come about because of a lion-headed God of War they worshipped called Maahes whose name means "he who is true beside her". In Greece, The Lion Gate at Mycenae is a pair of ancient lion statues dating back to the 13th century BC. which have been placed at the entrance to the city to protect it from invaders.
