Lamb - This is the most common animal symbol found on a child's grave. The
lamb appears throughout the ages with great regularity in Christian art and
because it is a symbol of Christ: "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the
sin of the world!" (Bible, John 1:29). The use of the lamb in religious art
pre-dates Christianity and appears to have been used first by the Egyptians. It
signifies purity and innocence. Christ in his sacrificial role and personifies:
innocence, meekness, gentleness and humility.
A Lamb with a cross and usually with a banner and a halo is the symbol for the
Lamb of God. In addition to the cross, banner, and halo, there are a number of
other accessories that may be portrayed with the lamb. Among these are
shepherds' crook, Chi-Rho crosses, and alpha/omega symbols.
