. . . Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sins of the world. John 1:29, Bible
. . . that ye may have faith on the Lamb of God, who taketh away the sins of the world, who is mighty to save and to cleanse from all unrighteousness. Alma 7:14, Book of Mormon
On the Church history post, in the Preston Market Square, on the Obelisk, was the item below. I didn't know what the lamb with the flag was, so I wanted to update everyone on what I found.

| This was on the sign for the Temperance Society also, so I first assumed it was some sort of Preston City logo. Further research revealed this represents a Latin phrase--Agnus Dei, Lamb of God. It is the Preston coat of arms or standard. The 'PP' stands for Princeps Pacis, or Prince of Peace (the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ). It may also stand for 'Proud Preston' as most people didn't know Latin and may have dupped it that as time went on. Since it is an old symbol, used back as far as recorded in Preston (1376), I would guess it started out as Princeps Pacis, due to the symbolic religiosity of that period. |
