Silver fish pendant, .925 silver, imported from Thailand.

The Ichthus fish is known as a symbol of Christianity, much like the cross. In ancient times when Christians were being persecuted, a home or place of business marked with the ichthus symbols indicated that it was a safe place for a Christian. In those days, many businesses would not do any trade with Christians.

Like the cross, which reminds us of the death and resurrection of Christ, the ichthus is a symbol full of meaning. It is an acronym from the Greek, in which the letters spell out Jesus Christ, son of God.

Many people wear an ichthus pendant as a subtle declaration of faith in Christ. Truely those who follow Christ will find fellowship and friendship with the followers of Christ. Those who do not know Christ may ask questions about such a curios object, opening the door of conversation into those eternal matters, which are so important!
