==Etymology==
==Etymology==
Staff of Salvation's original name, [[Wikipedia:Caduceus|Caduceus]], is a staff carried by the Greek messenger god Hermes. It is a short staff entwined with two serpents and often topped with a pair of wings and has become a representation or symbol of healing. Caduceus is often confused or conflated with the [[Wikipedia:Rod of Asclepius|Rod of Asclepius]], a staff entwined with only a single serpent associated with Asclepius, a Greek deity of healing and medicine.
