1 | Where is the donkey and lamb at nativity | NT general Archive 1 | Calvary Pete | 181262 | ||
The lamb is a symbol of Jesus throughout the bible, and the donkey is mentioned in Zechariah 9:9 regarding the coming of the king to Zion... Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion! Shout aloud, O daughter of Jerusalem! behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation is he, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. Other than that, we of course know He was born in a building used for animals (a stall, most translations say manger). It is thought that they were on the second floor of such a building where livestock would have been kept because there was no room at the Inn. The inclusion of a donkey and lamb are guesses as to what animals may have been present and those who represent Christ symbolically. |
