Two other scenes show a lamb receiving the Tables of the Law on Mount Sinai and striking a rock whence issues a stream of water. Thus in this series, the lamb is a symbol, not only of Christ, but also of Moses, the Baptist, and the Three Children in the fiery furnace. The fresco the cemetery of Praetextatus, showing Susanna as a lamb between two wolves (the elders), is another example of the lamb as symbol of one of the ordinary faithful. and The lamb or sheep on the shoulders of the Good Shepherd is a symbol of the soul of the deceased being borne by Our Lord into heaven. . . and The lamb, or sheep, symbol, then, of the first class described, has, in all catacomb paintings and on sarcophagi of the fourth century, always a meaning associated with the condition of the deceased after death. thus the Lamb but changes again. catholic encyclopedia by the way.

In addition to the glp's goodwill and willingness to help me see the light, I discovered also, that what is known about the mark of the lamb on glp is not the truth but held to be so. my sincere apologies for having wasted your thought on this. I am ok with it, however, for having confirmed in my mind that which isnt true. thanks Last Edited by LLC on 09/15/2010 12:31 AM I overcome my shyness with rudeness and belligerence. my grandmother said "you just never know about some people- they need brain surgery and they go to a proctologist". |
