Apparently, it's symbolic of being born again in the blood of the lamb.

Although I do think Christianity is just the tops when it comes to religion, meditation is different. If you're a Christian, like me, meditate upon what it means that you're practicing an art to kill, in order to achieve peace. I know I might catch flack for this, but I like to think of Jesus as a ninja. He lived, preached, died, and came back, and promised to get his revenge. It's very ninja-like. Fake deaths, revenge by the sword.

But if you're going to get mixed up with the red ninjas, which i don't recommend, since they're part of the Kogo-ryu lineage, which is diametrically opposed to my clan and our sworn enemies, make sure you don't get mixed in with that radically communistic group in Idaho. They don't know anything about ninjitsu, and just do karate while wearing masks. It's sad.
