| Religion and belief | The statue of the dead Jesus is the main image meant for the ceremony of the Good Friday and the mourning before the resurrection of the Christ in Easter. The effigy must be able to be crucified and must be able to recline in the coffin. The coffin is normally decorated with the lamb symbolizing that Jesus is the sacrificial lamb of god who took away the sin of the world. The victorious flag in the hand of the lamb symbolizes the resurrection of the Christ. |
