In Christianity, lapis lazuli, with its intense blue color, is associated with Heaven and the divine. It has been used in religious iconography to represent purity, truth, and wisdom. Additionally, it is believed to have protective properties and is connected with the figure of the Virgin Mary and the power of God.

The lapis lazuli, due to its deep blue color, has been linked to the sky and the celestial, thereby associating it with divinity and the presence of God in Christian tradition.
