He used the 13th century hym named the "Dies Irae" (day of wrath). This is a medevil latin poem sung in plainchant, characterised by its heavy accents and the part of the melody in which descending thirds are used. Many composers including Berlioz used this as a theme in their symphonies.

As you have worded your question in general terms, the answer is 'nothing'. In general, symphonies do not 'depict' anything - they exist as absolute music. Certain specific symphonies, or specific movements in a symphony, may be described by their composer as depicting something - but that is a different question.
