The name "White Eagle" is not attached only to an individual, but stands for a true vision through the mists of earth into a larger and more perfect life. You will also know that the white eagle is a symbol of St. John, the beloved disciple of Jesus, who was caught up in the power of the spirit and saw a new heaven and a new earth revealed. He saw that God had bestowed on humankind great gifts, not the least of which is the gift of vision.
