The Light is a White Elephant-
The white elephant reminds of Jesus' selfless sacrifice and love on the cross in Christian iconography.
Jesus is connected to the elephant in a few ways:
Hell
Jesus is known as the Bible's greatest preacher about hell, and some say that the elephant represents "hell". For example, in Luke 12:4-5, Jesus says, "Fear him who, after the killing of the body, has power to throw you into hell".
The Gospel of John
The saying "The Gospel of John is shallow enough for a child to wade in it, but it's deep enough for an elephant to swim in it" is sometimes used to describe the Bible as a whole, with the elephant sometimes replaced by a horse.
What does the elephant symbolize in Christianity?
Elephants are mentioned in the Bible in Revelation 18:12, 1st Kings 10:22, and 2 Chronicles 9:21. The significance lies in the symbolism of elephants, representing strength, intelligence, and loyalty. Elephants symbolize God's power and wisdom; their ivory tusks highlight abundance and wealth.
