Goat. Photo based illustration.

“The scapegoat was a goat that was driven off into the wilderness as part of the ceremonies of Yom Kippur, the Day of Atonement, in Judaism during the times of the Temple in Jerusalem. The rite is described in Leviticus 16.
The word is more widely used as a metaphor, referring to someone who is blamed for misfortunes, generally as a way of distracting attention from the real causes.” (quoted anonymous)

    There’s something outrageously cool, weird and wonderful about this, so subtle and unsubtle, gotta love it! Cool description too! Today is a day of reading history bits attached to different artworks, it’s just so cool to do that!!!
