It is also believed the nursery rhyme had a hidden religious meaning. Jesus is referred to the “lamb” who takes away the sins of the world and his fleece, which white as snow, symbolizes the purity of Jesus and “Mary” refers to the Virgin Mary.

It’s a great children’s story, especially for retelling. But, that one phrase “mary had a little lamb” is very repetitive.
