Discover the rich symbolism of the Agnus Dei, or Lamb of God, in various artistic and cultural representations. From the pink-flowered chaste tree (Vitex agnus-castus) to the Agnus Dei depicted in stained glass windows, such as those found in the church of Santa Maria, this ancient symbol holds deep meaning. Agnus Dei imagery includes Saint John the Baptist identifying Christ as the Lamb of God, as well as mythical creatures like the roc, basilisk, phoenix, unicorn, and the legendary Vegetable Lamb of Tartary. In art, we find the Agnus Dei depicted in illuminated manuscripts, such as the Escunhau Christ and the Cover of Saint Isabel's Bible, as well as in sculptures and paintings, like the Friar Oderic of Pordenone Holding a Branch from a Tree on Which Birds Grow. Through these depictions, the Agnus Dei continues to inspire awe and wonder, reminding us of the divine nature of Christ.
