The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Pagan and Christian Creeds by Edward Carpenter: iii), and in the very place through which the Sungod
had to pass just before his final triumph. And it is
curious to find that Justin Martyr in his Dialogue with Trypho[1]
(a Jew) alludes to an old Jewish practice of roasting a Lamb on
spits arranged in the form of a Cross. "The lamb,"
he says, meaning apparently the Paschal lamb, "is roasted
and dressed up in the form of a cross. For one spit is transfixed
right through the lower parts up to the head, and one
across the back, to which are attached the legs [forelegs] of
the lamb."
[1] Ch. xl.
