lamb
The lamb is a symbol of gentleness of character and patience under suffering. It signifies purity, meekness and sacrifice. The lamb is also often borne as a symbol of Christ. The paschal or holy lamb is a lamb depicted carrying either crossed staffs, or a banner inscribed with the cross of St. George and a halo above its head. It is an emblem of faith. The holy lamb was granted to a brave, resolute spirit, who would even undertake war in Christ's cause.Copyright © 2000 - 2009 Swyrich Corporation, all rights reserved
