Well they are catholics so what else do you expect... but it kinda make sense why they would think of it as lamb, after all that's the purpose of the passover for Jews to eat their "lamb", and catholics just took that from them, that Jesus was the "lamb" who was our true passover (pascha)
MarMar, Your teacher is just get confused between two words: 1- pascha= Passover 2- paschal Lamb= the lamb which offers by Jews on Passover, and it is the symbol of our Lord. May be in the Catholic Church they used this term more than the first one
So you can just clarify with her your point of view
yes that is false pascha doesnt mean lamb (in the sense of the litteral meaning of the word), but the whole pascha ritual is connected to the lamb, so i think ur right, both answers are correct.
The teacher should not mark you wrong, you just need to clarify it with her. there is difference between Pascha and Paschal Lamb, as I explained it in my previous post.
