Goblet Engravings

The lamb is one of the most common symbols by which Jesus is identified.
The first time we read this appellation for Christ in the Bible is in John 1:29 and John 1:36, where He is referred to as "The Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world."
To give meaning to this name of Jesus we have to look in the Old Testament where there is a sacrificial system established by God, which will serve as the basis for the arrival of our Lord Jesus Christ, who with his death and resurrection, will make the ultimate sacrifice for forgiveness. of the sins of His people.
At that time it was tradition to sacrifice a lamb to celebrate the feast of Passover. This celebration was one of the main ones within the Christian community. On the Passover feast, the people of Israel thanked God for their liberation from the slavery to which they were subjected in Egypt. The commemoration of Passover was carried out with the Passover Lamb to celebrate that it had been the blood of the lamb that had protected its firstborn from the tenth plague that devastated the Egyptians: "Well, I will spend that night through the land of Egypt, and I will smite every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and I will execute my judgments on all the gods of Egypt. I Jehovah. And the blood will be a sign for you in the houses where you are; and when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and there will be no plague of death upon you when I strike the land of Egypt."
Other identifications that we find of Jesus with the lamb are given by the prophets Jeremiah and Isaiah of the Old Testament, whose prophecies anticipated the coming of the One who would be brought “…as an innocent lamb that is led to be slaughtered…” (Jeremiah 11:19; Isaiah 53:7) and whose sufferings and sacrifice would provide redemption for Israel.
The atonement for the sins of the world through the Sacrifice of Jesus and the identification of Christ with the lamb is clearly reflected in 1 Peter 1:18-21 “Knowing that you were ransomed from your vain way of life, which you received from your fathers , not with corruptible things, such as gold or silver, but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot, already destined before the foundation of the world, but manifested in later times for love of you, and through whom you believe in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope may be in God.”
