This is my Christmas card that I sent in 2005. I was listening to a little Handel, and I got the idea to use the image of the Lamb of God with the banner that said "Halleluia!" But then I got thinking about all the wars around the world, and I decided to go with "Peace on Earth..." instead.

That lead me to the idea of the lion laying down with the lamb. I reversed the roles as I thought the Christ-like lamb should be the dominant figure.
