Here are the seven deadly sins.......
Pride... is excessive belief in one's own abilities, that interferes with the individual's recognition of the grace of God. It has been called the sin from which all others arise. Pride is also known as Vanity.
Envy... is the desire for others' traits, status, abilities, or situation.
Gluttony... is an inordinate desire to consume more than that which one requires.
Lust... is an inordinate craving for the pleasures of the body.
Anger... is manifested in the individual who spurns love and opts instead for fury. It is also known as Wrath.
Greed... is the desire for material wealth or gain, ignoring the realm of the spiritual. It is also called Avarice or Covetousness.
Sloth.... is the avoidance of physical or spiritual work.
According to The Picture Book of Devils, Demons and Witchcraft, by Ernst and Johanna Lehner, each of the Sins was associated with a specific punishment in Hell. I once saw a set of 16th-century engravings by George Pencz that used animals in their depictions of the Sins. The prints also used women to symbolize all the Sins, which was probably okay in the sociopolitical climate of the 16th century but probably wouldn't be encouraged nowadays.
Sin ......Punishment in Hell.......Animal....Color
Pride... broken on the wheel... Horse... Violet
Envy... put in freezing water... Dog ...Green
Anger... dismembered alive... Bear... Red
Sloth... thrown in snake pits... Goat... Light Blue
Greed... put in cauldrons of boiling oil... Frog ...Yellow
Gluttony... forced to eat rats, toads, and snakes... Pig ...Orange
Lust... smothered in fire and brimstone... Cow... Blue
