Mary Had a Little Lamb

Mary had a little Lamb...

Whose fleece was white as snow!

Jesus is the Lamb of God, the unblemished Lamb, offered as an expiation for our sins. With His Sacrifice, offered once for all, the need for bloody sacrifices (seen throughout the Old Testament) ceased.

For an intriguing study of Jesus as the sacrificial Lamb of God, read Scott Hahn's book, The Lamb's Supper: The Mass as Heaven on Earth. Or you can read his article "Jesus: Scary Judge or Gentle Lamb?" which showcases the mosaic "Christ in Majesty" that montanaman of the "Sophia House" forums submitted as LOLSaint posting "Your Sins Hurt Me..."

I think this picture of Jesus and Mary is absolutely beautiful!

The title of the painting is L'Innocence and the artist is William-Adolphe Bouguereau.  Any clue as to what country;)  It was painted in the late 1800's.  Do a google search and you will find numerous places to purchase a print.
