(See Lundy's Monumental Christianity, pp. 19 and 247.) "The _lamb_ slain (at the feast of the passover) was roasted whole, with two spits thrust through it--one lengthwise, and one transversely--crossing each other near the fore legs; so that the animal was, in a manner, _crucified_. Not a bone of it might be broken--a circumstance strongly representing the sufferings of our Lord Jesus, _the passover slain for us_." (Barnes's Notes, vol. i. p. 292.)

As regards the _Labarum_, the coins of the time, in which it is especially set forth, prove that the so-called cross upon it was nothing else than the same ever-recurring monogram of Christ" (that is, the XP).
