The shepherd with the lamb on his shoulders





Joan Amade (1946) writes that: «Perhaps the most universal of secular figures and the best known of the characters who come to worship. Found especially in Provence 467/1, Sicily 459/2, and Germany 346. Previously, it was prominently featured in every nativity scene and was an essential figure in every family crèche. It was customary to place it among the first standing shepherds waiting for their turn to worship.» (p. 294).

The Parable of the Good Shepherd: An Eternal Message

Inspired by Luke 15:4-5, 'The Shepherd with the Lamb on His Shoulders' symbolizes the unwavering care and pursuit of lost sheep, a theme resonating with compassion and mercy.

These intricate details pay homage to native breeds that are an integral part of Catalan agriculture and history, offering additional meaning for collectors and those passionate about Catalan culture.

Art, History, and Faith in One Figure

Nearby in a sheepfold, a group of shepherds, including Jaume, known for always carrying a lamb on his shoulders, was preparing a meal when they heard cries coming from a nearby stable. Curious and concerned, they left their flock and approached to see what had happened. Upon arrival, they discovered that Mary had just given birth. The shepherds were deeply moved by the scene before them.

Jaume, feeling inspired, decided he must make an offering to the newborn child. He looked around and chose his finest lamb, the one he always carried on his shoulders, as the perfect gift. Still holding the lamb, he approached Mary and Joseph, explaining his story and why he wanted to offer his lamb as a gift. Mary, with a smile full of gratitude, accepted the offering and thanked Jaume for his act of kindness and faith.

This act enriched the Catalan nativity scene with a story of love and solidarity, creating an image that reflected the unity between man and nature, faith and tradition, care and protection.
