One of the most significant symbols in "Rime of the Ancient Mariner", is an albatross. It first appears when the mariner starts exposing the story to the wedding guest as so "At lentgh did cross an albatross, Thorogh the fog it came; As if it had been a Christian soul, We hailed it in God's name." Not only does it start to appear, but it does as a religious symbolism, a symbol of faith.
