Abstract
(en) The book of Exodus prescribes that Jews celebrate Passover by sacrificing and consuming a lamb or, failing that, a kid goat (Ex 12:5). For Gregory of Elvira, the Easter victim must be a hybrid, resulting from the mating between a sheep and a young goat. The article documents the dossier on the paschal hybrid in Zeno of Verona, Gaudentius of Brescia, Augustine of Hippo and up to the Pseudo-Niceta of Remesiana. Finally, one wonders whether the thesis of hybridization is already present in Bishop Timothy's pastoral letter On the Passover, prior to the Council of Nicaea.
