Ea...It is a candle! Here is a reference I found...<br /><br />Early Christians often lit bonfires on the night before Easter.<br />Now the candle is used as a symbol of the light of Christ. Many churches use a large, white Paschal candle in their Easter decorations. <br /><br />Long ago, people put out all of the fires in their homes on Easter Eve. On Easter morning, "new fire" was taken from the one large Easter candle at church as a sign of the new life offered by Christ.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-65514548493029322212010-06-19T02:15:48.254-04:002010-06-19T02:15:48.254-04:00The gleeful expression on the (lamb-murdering) lit...The gleeful expression on the (lamb-murdering) little girl's face kind of gives a Stalin-esque impression, does it not?<br />I would keep her (1) out of politics and (2) away from the borders of any weaker national neighbors.E.cigshttp://www.ecigsreviewed.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-58579684533445193122010-04-26T16:43:09.840-04:002010-04-26T16:43:09.840-04:00I'm the one who bought that last lamb cake (2n...I'm the one who bought that last lamb cake (2nd to last photo).

I can't get it through my head that someone would actually want to eat that. I mean, if you think about it, (which I would try not to do in a situation like that, eating a smoker is bound to be nasty, even if it's made out of sugar and flour), these cakes are foul.<br /><br />I couldn't find much out about the smoking lamb cakes. Just a few snippets here and there, nothing worthwhile. I have seen those cakes before, but I wasn't sure what they were doing. I thought it resembled smoking, so now I'm just surprised as well as disgusted because people actually bought them.<br /><br />The little girl's expression is most likely my favorite.<i> I mean, who doesn't like chopping the heads off lamb-shaped pastries?</i> <br /><br />And about that last smoking lamb cake...

Hence the "fire" on the tip of these rolled scrolls/banners.<br /><br />"The banner has pieces torn from it to represent the blasting away of physical material in this wonderful climactic event".<br /><br />And there ya go.<br /><br />FWIW I do NOT see those items in the mouths as cigarettes at all...unless those lamb cakes are tiny!<br /><br />-Molly BMollyBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03162441893778194712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-34400480983858963442010-04-19T15:51:28.669-04:002010-04-19T15:51:28.669-04:00Hey all,

There are quite a lot of pics of lambs holding the banner unfurled, so that the red cross on the white field shows, but if a lamb were to *actually* carry a banner (for whatever reason), it would be rolled up in its mouth, and appear as a white cylinder with a red tip. It was this site that tipped me off:<br />http://annhetzelgunkel.com/easter/eastfood.html<br />and googling: Polish + "Resurrection Banner" sealed the deal.Andy47noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-35572235211979013122010-04-18T15:12:33.304-04:002010-04-18T15:12:33.304-04:00My husband and I both work in the church so we wer...My husband and I both work in the church so we were especially interested in what the smoking lambs were supposed to really be. The best we could come up with is a horribly misunderstood interpretation of the image of the lamb with the banner that you often see in Christian imagery. This would, in fact, be appropriate Easter imagery. For examples see: http://www.deborahmillswoodcarving.com/images/Portfolio/LambOfGod_DAMills2009_72dpi.jpg or http://www.quiltersmuse.com/images/lamb-of-God.png.<br /><br />Maybe if someone were just really confused about that, it could look like the stick was coming out of the lamb's mouth? But maybe we're being too generous about the intent.<br /><br />Also, we LOVE your site!

When God sent for Moses to free the Hebrews from egypt, the last plague sent on the Pharaoh was the killing of the first born. All of the Hebrew people were told to paint their doorways with the blood of a lamb in order for god to pass over their houses and spare their children. "7 Then they are to take some of the blood and put it on the sides and tops of the doorframes of the houses where they eat the lambs. "<br /><br />Happy Passover!

Afterwards, there's a family party, in which the child gets lots of presents and after diner we share a cake. The child has to chop off the head of the little cake-lamb. This goes back to a sacrifice for God. The cakes are always white, they actually look exactly the same in every bakery, and there's always a bit of strawberry filling in it which looks like blood when you chop off the head of the little lamb.<br />I think I even have a picturd of myself doing it. My sister also did it, my nieces and nephews, my husband, everyone I know actually.<br />Now that I read your blog, is the first time I get it: it IS kind of creepy :DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1932214040062195180.post-40850938146143442882009-04-16T12:33:00.000-04:002009-04-16T12:33:00.000-04:00On PolishForums.com (http://www.polishforums.com/e...On PolishForums.com (http://www.polishforums.com/easter_lamb_cake_histroy-8_19191_0.html)<br /><br />Pryzkatoony says:<br /><br />"Because some of these lamb cakes fall in with a bad crowd."<br /><br />That's as good an explanation as any and it made me laugh.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
