Redemption is considered a central category in many religions (cf. M. Riesebrodt, 2010). Somehow, people have always managed to get themselves entangled in things that hinder, make impossible, or even destroy lives of others and themselves. The concept of redemption "responds" to this experience with the hopeful prospect of "getting out" of it. A central Christian symbol of redemption is found in the Lamb of God. The Lamb of God has the ability to "take away" sin, that is, to put an end to that ongoing entanglement in life-restricting and destructive circumstances. Yet what makes a lamb so suitable for this? Perspectives of redemption are not only religious in nature, but do not have to be thought of as overly far-reaching. Various forms of art also tie in with this, without reducing them to their potential for salvation. My paper makes what may seem to be tongue-in-cheek a connection between the Lamb of God metaphor and Shawn the Sheep, or more precisely, Shirley, a central character in the series. Shirley's qualities are described on Fandom.com as: "In addition to being a big sheep, she has been shown to act as a storage facility, as her wool coat is frequently used by the other sheep to hide their belongings that they wish for no one else to find." In addition, this cartoon character is portrayed as caring, loyal, and ready to step up to help others. Could this pop culture character, Shirley, tell us something about the central redemptive quality of the Lamb of God, i.e., "taking away sin", while not using theological jargon? Does the Lamb of God hide sin in the abundance of its "woolly" graciousness? Redemption could thus be conceived as the absorbing transformation - who knows what goes on in that woolly thicket? - of the unwanted, the unacceptable, the destructive, in short: sin.
