The lamb is of great Christian significance that to the passage in John 1:29 which reads "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world", thus equating the lamb with Jesus Christ. As a saintly emblem a lamb accompanies John the Baptist, St Agnes, St Catherine, St Genevieve and St Regina.
