Agnus Dei

            During the Jewish Passover (Pesach) of c.AD 30, Yeshua from Nazareth (known in the non-Jewish world as Jesus), a charismatic Jewish rabbi, was put to death on a cross. This event caused quite a stir in Jerusalem at the time, and the Roman authorities feared a possible backlash. But Jesus had taught his followers that the Kingdom of God was not of this world, and his non-violent teaching meant that there was no uprising following this execution. 

As the Friday evening arrived, it was imperative the body of Jesus be removed from the cross before the start of the Sabbath. He was hastily taken down and placed in the family tomb owned by a wealthy man, Joseph of Arimathea. Great sadness descended on his followers. But the story didn't end there...

The Latin term "Agnus Dei" means "Lamb of God". The sacrifice lamb was central to the practice of the Jewish Passover. In Egypt long before, God had made a blood covenant with his people as they were freed from slavery and brought to the Promised Land. The events of the first Christian Easter would soon lead those followers of Jesus to begin to apply the idea of the Lamb of God to Jesus himself.
