Easter lambs

Easter lamb

Does a sheep give birth to a sheep or to a lamb? Lambs are cute and cuddly and often arrive in this world around Easter time. In the Christian faith, the lamb is even considered a symbol of Jesus Christ. In several places in the Bible, Jesus is even referred to as the "Lamb of God".

In Denmark, when the lambs born in the spring rarely get big enough to end up on the Easter lunch table, on the other hand, we can see them in stables and in the fields, jumping around at Easter. At Juleeventyr.com, you will find both cute sheep and lambs, which can easily be included in your home décor.

The lamb is the symbol of Easter

The lamb is generally eaten during springtime and symbolizes the Easter. It sends out the message that the sacrifice of Jesus took place as if He was an innocent lamb.

The lamb appears as a symbol in the Judaic, Catholic and Christian churches. Therefore, in a broad sense, the lamb is a sign of spring, but also an animal that is highly respected and sacred. Most often, the lamb sees the day light during springtime and coincides with the celebration of Easter.

Easter lunch menu

For the traditional Danish Easter lunch, we often serve herring and eggs with schnapps. But for many, lamb is a regular part of the menu. The Danish lambs do not get big enough to be slaughtered for Easter, therefore most often, it is foreign or frozen lamb that ends up on the Danish dinner tables.

Baby animals are always cute, but for many, the lamb ranks particularly high on the scale of cute animals. The lamb testifies to the coming of spring and therefore, it is a tribute to Easter and Jesus. It also marks the end of winter.
