For those who have read the story associated with Lamb & Wolf (read it here if you haven't, it's pretty great: http://na.leagueoflegends.com/en/page/good-death), this should be some food for thought.

"The wolf will live with the lamb... and a little child will lead them." -Isaiah 11:6 "For you will have a covenant with the stones of the field, and the wild animals will be at peace with you." -Job 5:23 "...and the wolf and the lamb will feed together." -Isaiah 65:25

The first and third relate to King David, a tender of sheep and king, and interestingly enough the second relates to the story of Job, an individual who was tested by both God and Satan concurrently. The parallels are certainly interesting; make of it what you will, but it's something I noticed and I thought it might be a thought-provoking topic for discussion if I pointed it out.

As far as i know, the symbol of the lamb, its usually used on the Bible to speak about Jesus and things like that... However "Lamb" the champion, its a representation of Death... so, i doubt that there are connections.

If you look at the symbols on the head, it is the symbol of the Nazarene, associated with Jesus because he grew up in Nazareth and was called the Nazarene, Jesus is also called the Lamb of God except the Lamb in this game has the Nazarene symbol upside down on the Lamb and the symbol of the Nazarene is instead on the Wolf, wolves kill, steal and destroy, the Lamb came to give life and give it abundantly.

I don't think that League of Legends should have brought this type of thing into the game, it is an impiety as far as i can see.
