OF COURSE I KNEW THAT Religious references In ancient Greece, a sow was an appropriate sacrifice to Demeter and had been her favorite animal since she had been the Great Goddess of archaic times. Initiates at the Eleusinian Mysteries began by sacrificing a pig. The pig is one of the 12-year cycle of animals which appear in the Chinese zodiac related to the Chinese calendar. Believers in Chinese astrology associate each animal with certain personality traits. See: Pig (Zodiac). Muslims are forbidden to consume pork by the Qur'an. Jews are also forbidden to consume pork by the laws of Kashrut. In the Gospels, Jesus tells a parable of a prodigal son who gets a job feeding pigs and wished that he could eat the swill himself. In the Gospels, Jesus performs a miracle by causing demons who possess a man to enter a herd of swine who then run off a cliff and drown. Snuffleupagus says pigs taste yummy. en.wikipedia.org
