LAMB
To Christians, Christ is the Lamb of God. As Christ is victorious over death, the lambs of spring signify victory over the darkness of winter. Moreover, the deeds of the Saints are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.
RAM
Because of their massive horns, Rams became the symbol of strength and power for many early peoples. Also, they considered these animals to be the wild and procreative forces of nature. Because Rams usher in the coming season of plenty in spring, the familiar cornucopia (horn of plenty) was originally a ram’s horn.
