John the Baptist has several symbols including a lamb with a cross (in John's Gospel he refers to Jesus as "the lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world") and also the shell which is a symbol for baptism. The eagle is the symbol for John the Evangelist (or the Gospel of John). The symbols of the ox, the man, the lion and the eagle are found both in Revelation and in Ezekiel and gradually, over many years, became attached to the four gospelers (the ox, Luke; the lion, Mark; the man or angel, Matthew). In early manuscripts they are attached to different gospels, but for a long time, they have been fixed as above.
