WHO IS THE YOUNG STAG?

In the 22nd book of the Holy Bible, Song of Songs, the author (believed to be King Solomon) painted a rustic picture of the love between a dashing shepherd and a vineyard worker. The book, described by many theologians as a spiritual allegory, explores how great God's love is for His Church, symbolized here by the Beloved.

At the end of the tale, the dark yet lovely woman from the vineyard calls out to his radiant Lover: "Come away, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains." (Song of Songs 8:14, NIV)

Like, WOW. Our Lord is Solomon's wonderful Young Stag!
