The Moravian seal, symbol of the Moravian church. The image at the center dates to the 1500s, and is referred to as the Agnus Dei — Latin for “Lamb of God.” The lamb, who represents Jesus Christ, holds a staff with a banner representing victory. An inscription surrounding the seal reads “Our lamb has conquered, let us follow him.”
