Summary/Abstract: The pre-christian sacrifice as paradigm for Christ’s sacrifice awaiting.Sacrifice is a form of dialogue or a relationship waiting in hope of man, as creature, and God as Creator. Multiple forms of sacrifice, however, affirm its uniqueness. The fact that every religion has the sacrifice as a religious essential element, show the idea that he is a self-test offering by substitution of an animal. Humanity expected each individual sacrifice to be replaced by a single universal sacrifice, unrepeatable, which will be in the person of Christ.
