Because of the thistle seeds it eats, in Christian symbolism the goldfinch is associated with the Passion and Christ's Crown of Thorns. In that effect, this bird is often appearing in pictures of the Madonna and the Christ Child pointing so closely connection between embodiment (creation of form) and sacrifice (of the same form) for some higher truth.
