According to Aristotle, when injured in a fight, storks heal their wounds with origanum. The Faculty of Medicine of the University of Paris has three silver storks as its emblem, each with a sprig of origanum in its beak. The symbolic meaning of storks varies from culture to culture, with the most frequent connotation being birth and renewal. There are, however, an array of different legends, myths, and symbols attached to storks. Storks are often connected to the family. Although birth is the primary manifestation of this connection, they are also symbolic of fidelity and romance.
