1. The Väringa Guard and the Lion: Our Viking ancestors, who served in the Byzantine Imperial Guard, became familiar with the lion as a symbol of strength and courage. Runes were carved into lion statues to commemorate their exploits.
2. Influence of Christianity: With the advent of Christianity, the lion became a central symbol of the new faith, often representing the "Lion of Judah".
