Are there any symbolic people in Wicca? I mean like Christianity has Noah and Jesus. Does Wicca have anything like that?

I don't know if I would say there are people who are particularly symbolic, like a prophet of the such, but there are people who can be considered icons, and were instumental in the creation of Wicca.
Gerald Gardner - creator of Wicca
Patricia Crowther - Gardner's first high priestess
Aleister Crowley - person who helped with the creation of the origina wiccan rituals
Alex Sanders - one of the most well known, creator of the alexandrian tradition.
Doreen Valiente - second high priestess, writer of the Charge of the Goddess and the Wiccan rede
Janet and Stuart Farrar - Noted Wiccan authors
Scott Cunningham - Noted Wiccan author
Raymond Buckland - Vice President of Llewellyn Publications, Student of Gardner, responsable for bringing Wicca to the United States.
Hope that helps a little

Usually, we align with a particular pantheon and there are "icons" in each of these that speak to the individual. You would identify with a particular god or goddess -- like a patron saint. Hope this helps---Blessings!

Well I don't think we have any person but I know that most Wiccans believe in the Mother Goddess. I know I do.

Read up on Led Zepplin symbols, it tells you some of the history of some symbols and runes, and the history and myths behind them.

no, because we dont lie to ourselfs by creating a savior to worship. We tend to be our own savior, as we are Her hidden children helping those who both want and need it.
Blessed be!!!!

no direct correspondence.
Wiccans tend to shy away from prophets and centralized leaders; they encourage diversity even among what aspects of divinity to use.

No, because they were burned at the stake by "righteous" people.
