Agnus Dei
Agnus Dei ('Lamb of God') is an ancient symbol used in the Christian Church, which symbolises Christ and his sacrifice. It contains the lamb, which stands for innocence and sacrifice; the cross, which symbolises Christ's victory over sin, and the three-rayed nimbus, which refers to the divine character of the scene.
