children's liturgy 18/01/2015 lamb of God

Today the children explored the concept of sacrifice as in the ancient religions dating back to the first testament.  It seems abhor ant to us now but in the past the ancients would offer human sacrifice to the gods in thanks for life itself. In the time of Jesus this was altered to sacrificing  young animals such as Lambs.
It is ironic that Christ was crucified on the cross and  offered to god as a sacrificial lamb.
