The swan represents Martin Luther. John Hus, a Czechoslovakian was convinced the the Bible should be available in the language of the people, and that salvation comes through faith in Jesus Christ, and that the Word of God is the final authority. Hus was accused, imprisoned and charged with heresy. He was burned at the stake on July 6, 1415. Before the fire was lit, he told the crowd, "Today you cook a goose, but tomorrow a swan will follow me." He died singing a hymn. Martin Luther is that swan.

Behold, Lord, I am an empty vessel that needs to be filled. My Lord, fill it. I am weak in the faith; strengthen me. I am cold in love; warm me and make me fervent, that my love may go out to my neighbor. I do not always have a strong and firm faith; at times I doubt and am unable to trust you altogether. O Lord, help me.. With me, there is an abundance of sin; in you is the fullness of righteousness. Therefore, I will remain with you, of whom I can receive, but whom I may not give.

--Martin Luther
