General Notes

Note

Parament featuring the sun of righteousness, lamb and victory banner. The Easter parament combines the two victorious symbols of Christ, the Son of God. "The sun of righteousness" celebrates Christ's resurrection with the rising sun over a renewed earth. The lamb triumphant with the banner of victory is based upon Revelation 5:12, "Worthy is the Lamb that hath been slain to receive the power, and riches, and wisdom and might, and honor, and glory and blessing."
