Literature | Agnus Dei A cake of wax or dough stamped with the figure of a lamb supporting the banner of the Cross, and distributed by the Pope on the Sunday after Easter as an amulet. Our Lord is called Agnus Dei (the Lamb of God). There is also a prayer so called, because it begins with the words, Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi (O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world). Source: Brewer's Dictionary. |

(From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia)
"Agnus Dei" is also the popular name for the anthem beginning with these words, which is said to have been introduced into the missal by Pope Sergius I (687-701). Based upon John i. 29, the Latin form is Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. In the celebration of the Mass it is repeated three times before the communion, and it is also appended to many of the litanies. By the judgment in the case of Read and others v. The Bishop of Lincoln it was decided in 1890 that the singing of the "Agnus Dei" in English by the choir during the administration of the Holy Communion, provided that the reception of the elements be not delayed till its conclusion, is not illegal in the Church of England.
