I've always loved the lion/lamb biblical symbolism, but I never would've thought that they could also represent the Trinity when combined with the dove. Unique idea, great design and craftsmanship!

Nope - I'm Anglican/Episcopalian, but my religious views are about 99% Orthodox!
The username is from some song lyrics I liked a few years ago - I really want to change it, but deviantArt won't let me 
Peace be with you!

Wow.................should I kneel and pray? However, isn't the Lion of Judas/Judahs referring to Saviour our Lord Jesus Christ?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
nope jesus was the lamb refering to the sacrafice "lamb of God" .narnia symbolizes him as a lion but dont get confused by it
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yea, Lamb of God and Lion of Judas r both referred to Jesus our Lord?!

Good religious symbolism, there. And a clean cut, most definitely. Good that when the lion and lamb touch noses they seem to become one. Kudos.

One of my fave papercuttings from you. I love the way the lion and lamb are touching nosies. How CUTE! CUTE! You've made the Trinity CUTE! ::eeeps and decides NOT to glomp-huggle the Holy Trinity, lest she be dissolved by His holiness::: 0_o
