An Agnus Dei is a small medallion made of white or yellow wax, depicting on the front the Lamb of God holding the banner adorned with the cross. It is usually blessed by the pope during Holy Week. The other side is rarely visible.
The Agnus Dei is an important symbol in the Catholic liturgy, referring to Jesus Christ as the perfect sacrifice and the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The wax medallions of Agnus Dei are considered sacred objects and can be worn as protective amulets or kept in the homes of the faithful to bring blessings and spiritual protection.
