What does the lion stand for? Lions have long been used as symbols of power, strength, vigilance, and grandeur. Imposing statues of lions were placed at the gates of palaces, temples, tombs, and bridges, where they stand guard. Sculpted lions can be found in many of the world’s great cities, including Beijing, Venice, -- and Lancaster!
