Agnus Dei

Agnus Dei, meaning "Lamb of God," is a hymn or prayer in Christian liturgy that references Jesus Christ as the sacrificial Lamb who takes away the sins of the world. It often appears in the Mass or church services, especially during the Eucharist, emphasizing Jesus’ role as the divine sacrifice for humanity's salvation. The phrase highlights themes of mercy, sacrifice, and redemption, and is typically sung or recited to invoke God's forgiveness and grace. It connects believers to the core Christian belief in Jesus' sacrificial love and the hope for spiritual renewal.
