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.
