Cordeiro

Cordeiro is a Portuguese word that translates to "lamb" in English. More specifically, it refers to a young sheep, typically under one year old. The term is commonly used in culinary contexts to denote the meat of a young sheep. Figuratively, "cordeiro" can also symbolize innocence, gentleness, and vulnerability, drawing upon the lamb's association with these qualities in various cultures and religions. In religious contexts, particularly within Christianity, the lamb (often referred to as "Agnus Dei" or "Lamb of God") is a symbolic representation of Jesus Christ and his sacrifice.
