Sacrificial Nature of Lamb vs. Triumphant Lion of Judah
Contrasting Symbolism in Christian Tradition
While the Lion of Judah is commonly associated with Christ's triumphant nature, the Lamb sacrifice holds a deeper significance in Christian tradition, embodying both perpetual sacrifice and the sacrificial nature of Christ's death.
In Baroque Europe, an inscription referred to Christ as the Lamb, emphasizing the sacrificial dimension of his death, akin to the Paschal lamb slain on Passover eve and consumed on the first night of the festival.
