For centuries it used to be believed that the eagle could look in an instant into the sun and that it used to be reborn by diving into a fountain. Christians adopted this symbolism, comparing the eagle having a look into the sun to Christ having a look at His Father and the fountain as the renewal of the soul through baptism. These days, an eagle would possibly incessantly be spied at the baptismal fonts in older churches.
