The lamb can stand in for Christ&#8217;s sacrifice. On Easter Day, Christ died and was reborn, earning the title of &#8220;Lamb of God.&#8221; In Christianity, the lamb represents his death and rebirth. A lamb represents purity and fresh life in ancient Mediterranean cultures. It&#8217;s one of the first creatures to emerge from hibernation, so it&#8217;ll be ready to eat in the spring. Lambs were an important feature of many ancient societies&#8217; spring festivals. Lambs were frequently sacrificed to celebrate the return of spring and the gods and goddesses after a long winter.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Symbol of Christ, Passover, feasting, and sacrifice.
