The Horsemen of the Apocalypse

The Horsemen of the Apocalypse are symbolic figures described in the Christian Bible’s Book of Revelation, representing different forces of chaos and destruction that accompany the end of the world. Each horseman signifies a particular calamity: the White Horse symbolizes conquest or pestilence, the Red Horse represents war and bloodshed, the Black Horse signifies famine and scarcity, and the Pale Horse stands for death and decay. Together, they illustrate the series of hardships and upheavals that are believed to precede the final judgment and the culmination of human history.
