ORIGIN OF THE DEVOTION
The image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd has its roots in the Gospel, where Christ presents Himself as the shepherd who knows, loves, and protects His sheep. This theme became one of the earliest and most beloved images in Christian art, because it expresses the closeness of Jesus to each person and His care for the faithful.
