Jesus Fish Ring 925 Sterling Silver

The Christian fish symbol is one of the most ubiquitous symbols of Christianity. Apart from the cross, the fish symbol is probably the most recognizable symbol of faith.

Briefly, the fish symbol is based on a Greek acronym for the phrase Jesus Chris, God's Son, Savior.

During the early days of Christianity, Christians were often put to death for practicing their faith, so they worshiped in secret places. A fish painted or etched on the outside door of a house let other Christians know that they would be safe and welcome inside.

The Christian fish symbol also brings to mind several events in Jesus’ ministry. Twice, Jesus provided a miraculous draught of fish for His disciples.  He ate fish with His disciples on at least two occasions after His resurrection. The miracle of the temple coin involved a fish, and of course the feeding of five thousand and the feeding of the four thousand started with a lunch that included fish.
