The story of the life of the Mexican divinity, Quetzalcoatl, closely resembles that of the Savior, so closely, indeed, that we can come to no other conclusion than that Quetzalcoal and Christ are the same being. But the history of the former has been handed down to us through an impure Lamanitish source, which has sadly disfigured and perverted the original incidents and teachings of the Savior's life and ministry. (President John Taylor)
The symbolism behind the Feathered Serpent as Quetzalcoatl makes more since when we look at what it actually is. The feathers represet the macaw bird common among Mesoamerica who flies in the sky. And the serpent represents the snake that lives below the ground. This symbolism is that of Jesus who ascened above all things (like a bird) and below all things (like a snake). I find this as great imagery...with purpose.
