Lucifer is a Latin name that means "light bearer" or "morning star". In Christian theology, Lucifer is another name for Satan, who was originally a beautiful and powerful angel but later rebelled against God and was cast out of heaven. In some traditions, Lucifer is seen as a symbol of pride, rebellion, and temptation, while in others, he is viewed more sympathetically as a tragic figure who fell from grace.
