2025Easter - Set

In the joyful iconography of Easter, three small animals are included: the rabbit, the chick and the lamb. But while the rabbit and the chick remain on the bright side, symbolizing the perpetual renewal of life, the lamb carries a different meaning. Its symbolism, rooted in deep tradition, embraces both light and darkness, life and its end. Even the most innocent image of a lamb, like the one on this Easter stamp by Croatian Post, reminds us of the unfairness of its short life and its innocence that makes up for the wrongs of others. As if, since the dawn of history, the lamb has always been the “sacrificial lamb”.
