Karuse kiriku kantsel ENG tõlge p.

Moses, the pulpit’s supporting figure, denoted the Old Testament and above all the validity of God’s Ten Commandments in the Lutheran Church. Christ holding the globe with the cross and blessing the world, in other words Salvator Mundi, and the figures of the evangelists Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, and of the apostles Peter and Paul, on the other hand, denoted the New Testament and the pure teaching of the Gospel. The pelican feeding its young with its own blood and angels with the attributes of Christ’s suffering denoted Christ’s sacrificial death, and Christ the Invincible denotes everlasting life in Christianity.
