section Summary
 
 
Throughout the course of time and contained within most historical references that discuss, analyze and theorize about ancient as well as modern religions there is almost always a reference to symbols as they relate to the multitude of religions. Specifically, this paper discusses symbols of rebirth and hope for the six religions our class focused on: Christianity, Judaism, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism and Taoism. Now each of these religions has a variety of symbols that represent anything from life to death but I want to narrow it down to symbols of rebirth and hope.
