SYMBOLISM SYMBOLISM
The origins of the symbolism of the lamb are to be found in the Book of Enoch. It signifies purity, innocence, meekness (as well as unwarranted sacrifice). In allegories, it lies at the root of representations of either pure thought, or a just man, or the Lamb of God. Pinedo, however, points to the interesting relationship between the lamb and the lion, by inversion of their respective symbolic meanings.
