An Agnus-dei is a small white or yellow wax medallion representing on the main face the Lamb of God holding the banner decorated 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. Agnus Dei wax medallions are considered sacred objects and may be worn as protective amulets or kept in the homes of worshipers to bring blessings and spiritual protection.
