"Agnus Dei" is a Latin term meaning [[Lamb of God]]. It is figurative language that is used to refer to [[Jesus]] in his role of the perfect sacrificial offering that atones for the sins of humanity. Agnus Dei is used to refer to several things related to this imagery.
===Liturgy===
In [[Roman Catholicism]] "the Agnus Dei" refers to singing or reciting "Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world; have mercy on us" during the fraction (breaking of the bread in [[Communion]]). These words are based upon [[John the Baptist]]'s reference in [[John 1:29]] to Jesus.
