Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse are figures from the Christian Bible, specifically the Book of Revelation. They symbolize various forms of suffering and chaos that will occur at the end of the world. There are four Horsemen, each riding a different horse: the first is conquest (white horse), the second is war (red horse), the third is famine (black horse), and the fourth is death (pale horse).
