Countess Pillar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The pillar stands for immortality, after the pattern of the obelisks and pillars seen on so many tombs of this date, but it is also one of the objects most closely associated with the Passion (the pillar to which Christ was bound for the Flagellation).

Lady Anne's pillar, therefore, brings the symbolism of the late sixteenth century into the late seventeenth. Lady Anne's pillar is not crowned, but she spent her childhood at a court where the crowned pillar was a potent symbol of Queen Elizabeth I of England, with whose cult her father was intimately involved -- he succeeded Sir Henry Lee as Queen's Champion in 1590, the year of Anne's birth. www.wikipedia.org /wiki/Countess_Pillar   (671 words)
