I thought we quit sacrificing animals and people to the gods. VERY barbaric.

There's no lamb in that picture and when you say pair, doves so come to mind.

Unless all the ppl shocked by 'sacrifice' are vegetarian...why the outcry? I know it sounds barbaric but our plastic wrapped supermarket lamb chops live and die in far more cruel and crude ways. js

Ms. Kitty, They sacrificed lambs and ate them. If we eat turkey on Christmas, is that so different?

redshoes, If you’re going to Catholic bash, at least respect the fact that the word is a proper noun.

Highlander, that's because it's a picture of St. Agnes.

How do they get the lambs to lay down in the baskets for the procession, blessing etc? They don't lay down for that long unless their legs are bound in some way...

BuggerBalls666, The game gives help to those it thinks need it . Most players don’t get a picture of the lamb, but get one of St Agnes instead . Don’t be too quick to shout about getting clues. There is a message there

Player GayleP, All man made traditions. Started about 300 yrs after Jesus gave us the truth. Roman Emperors and Popes invented them to increase their numbers and attempt at conquest. Starting with changing of the Sabbath, and followed by Christmas and Easter. All man invented and contrary to what Jesus said.

Highlander, Same here. But I knew Agnus was Latin for Lamb.
