Why do we use a butterfly as our emblem?

On all our stationary you will find a red butterfly. We are asked many times ‘why choose a butterfly, Here is our answer: Firstly the beautiful butterfly with the power of flight, emerging from an apparently lifeless cocoon is a perfect symbol of life after death. In Christianity the butterfly has long been a symbol of resurrection.

Ancient Greeks considered butterflies to be the souls of those who have passed away. It is also considered a symbol of hope in many cultures.
