The Fish



The symbol of the fish has been used from very early
Christian times (second century) — it can be found in
the Catacombs of St. Callistus (our16th Pope).

The Greek word for fish is ICHTHYS.

The first Christians spontaneously represented Christ by the
emblem of the fish, whose letters, as an acronym, stood for:

Iesous Christos
Theou Yios Soter: Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Savior.

Iesous(Jesus) Xristos
(Christ) Theou (God) Yios (Son) Sotare (Savior)the Greek letters
are Iota, Chi, Theta, Upsilon, Sigma

Because of the
miracle of the Loaves and the Fishes, it is also associated
with the Holy Eucharist.

The whole of
the gospel is contained in these words: Jesus ...Yeshua,
Savior. Christ ... the Anointed One. Son of God. The One Who
saves.

It is a complete prayer in itself and as such has been used
by countless millions down through the ages. In particular it
recalls to mind all "Pilgrims" who carry nothing for the journey,
and for whom this is their constant prayer; in fact, faithfulness
to this prayer alone can bring a soul to great holiness.

For some people, the concept of "Fishers of men" is actually
repugnant and offensive, they feel it implies a trap or a snare,
not so, to the Semitic mind, the sea was a place of danger,
a place where the evil spirits resided ... they understood this
call of being fishers of men a call to save others from sin
and the power of the evil one.

May the Holy Name of Jesus always be on your mind and in your
heart.

The Christogram

IHS


A Christogram
for the name of Jesus using the first three letters of the word
in Greek. The Greek Christogram ΙΗΣΟΥΣ (IHSOUS) for Jesus,
and in Latin Iesus Hominum Salvator, "Jesus
saviour of mankind."

JESUS,
the only Name under heaven by which we may be saved. Jesus,
the Holy Name, the name so loved by so many Saints of the Church.
It is said of St. Francis of Assisi that when he uttered the
Holy Name, he licked his lips, for he said the name of Jesus
contained such sweetness.

The Franciscan St. Bernadine of Sienna did a great deal to promote
the praying of the Holy Name, the Name of Jesus should
be held in the greatest of reverence and respect — and
never profaned.

Our God has allowed us to call Him by His Name!

The Chi-Rho (pronounced "KEE-roe") is a Christian symbol consisting of the intersection of the capital Greek letters Chi (Χ) and Rho (Ρ), which are the first two letters of "Christ" in Greek (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ, Christos). The Chi-Rho can represent either Christ or Christianity and is also known as a Christogram.

The Chi-Rho is also known as the labarum, which is based on the Latin word laureum, "military standard." This is based on Constantine's application of the Chi-Rho symbol to his military standard after receiving his famous vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge in 312.

The church historian Eusebius, who spoke with the emperor about his experience, described the standard:

"On the top of the whole was fixed a wreath of gold and precious stones, and within this the symbol of the Saviour's name, two letters indicating the name of Christ by means of the initial letters, the letter X intersection P at the center."
The Chi-Rho was used by Christians before Constantine but it became much more widespread after he adopted it. The chi-rho appeared on the coins of Constantine and his Christian successors, sometimes alone and sometimes as part of a military standard as described by Eusebius. It continues to be widely used today.

Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, signifying that God is "the beginning and the end," or eternal. The symbols were used in early Christianity and appear in the Roman catacombs.


In Rabbinic literature, the word emet ("truth"), composed of the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, is "the seal of God," and in Judaic tradition it carries somewhat the same connotation as Alpha and Omega.

The Alpha and Omega symbols are often combined with the cross, chi rho, or other Christian symbols.

"From everlasting to everlasting thou art God" (Ps. 90:2)

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." (Rev 1:8, NIV)

The
Chi Ro monogram



This
is a Greek abbreviation of the title, "Christ".

"Chi" and "Rho" are the first two letters in the Greek word
Christos or "Christ".

In Greek capital letters they appear as " X" and "P".

In Greek Chiro, to anoint, and in Hebrew mashah
denoted a cultic consecration. Through consecration, a king,
a priest, a prophet, an altar were specially set part. The anointing
would confer the Spirit's power, making him the anointed one,
in Hebrew, the Messiah of the Lord.

The New testament applies to Jesus the Old testament texts concerning
the anointing of the King-Priest. A priestly anointing was not
narrated of Jesus, because he was the high priest, not like
Aaron but according to the order of Melchizedek. While a prophetic
anointing had been attributed to Jesus it was related to His
baptism.

Jesus is the anointed Messiah.

We have all been anointed at Baptism and are called to be other
Christ's, Christians.
