Legend of the Spearfish
The fish symbol
was used by
the early Christians as a secret symbol during the time when they were
experiencing persecution for their faith. The symbol could be worn or simply
drawn to identify fellow believers.
The symbol was chosen by using the Greek word for fish (ICTHUS) as an acronym. Each
letter being the first letter in each word for:
Ι Jesus
Χ Christ
Θ God's
Υ Son
Σ Savior
Following the path of the Christians before me I chose the
symbol to identify myself as first and foremost
belonging to my LORD Jesus the Messiah.
Romans 1:16
Galatians 2:20
So what about the spear? What is another name for a spear? A Lance.
