Lamb or Donkey?


I didn't think that anyone would see my thread on the message board for the Passion of the Christ so I thought I would post it here seeing how it still specifically has to do with the movie. The part where Judas is about to hang himself he sees a dead animal. Is it a lamb or a donkey? Any thoughts?

I thought that it looked like a rotted camel(so did the rest of my youth group). Well, it's rotted and the maggots are feasting on it, and that is what will happen to Judas eventually. There's probably something deeper I'm missing though.

I have SO many quotes I like...I can't figure out which one to use!

I thought it looked like a donkey. That would also make symbolic sense, given Christ's entry to the city on a donkey, and the fact that Christ was about to die as well.

In true hope that you are not taking the mickey in asking such an obvious question...the answer is it is quite clearly a donkey. Never seen a brown lamb myself. Hope you can sleep in your new knowledge.
