Saturday Symbol: Lambs

A lamb usually marks the grave of a child. The lamb ALWAYS stands for innocence. Christians go a little further and associate it with the Lamb of God, meaning Jesus.

Just for the record I have found lambs on adults headstones so they don't always signify children.

Have you ever noticed the vast variety there is for this one specific symbol?  Here are a few of the ones I have collected this year. Well, at least the complete ones. I find a lot that are missing their heads.
The one in the lower right corner of the above collage is my favorite. But I think it looks more like a baby fawn than a lamb. What do you think?
