This article is a descriptive theoretical elaboration that develops a philosophical anthropology approach to religious symbolism. The objective of this article aims to identifythat religious symbology is perennially required by human beings in relation to the searchfor sufficient meanings to provide interpretation and value to reality, in order to build astable culture for existence. In this regard, the manuscript establishes that understandingthe function of symbology from its origination in religious experience means contributing totheunderstandingofthereligiousresurgencemanifestedinpostmodernism,eveninconditions of continuous change and the absence of solidly defined directions (Bauman,1996). It is established that symbolic-religious mediations preserve intact their task ofmediating the link between the human being and the transcendent mystery (Chillón, 2010;DiezdeVelasco,Méndez,&Maffesoli;2007;Mardones,1996),inordertoprovidecomprehensiveguidanceforhumanlife.
