The history of the fish as a symbol of Christ dates back to the early Church. This Christian gift idea is steeped in history..... In the years following the ascension of the resurrected Jesus to heaven, the Christian church grew rapidly. Christians soon found themselves to be the subjects of persecution by both the Romans and the Jews. In many locales, it became dangerous to be known as a Christian. Thus, when two strangers met and thought maybe they were fellow believers, one of them would draw, on the ground, the upper half of the fish symbol. Recognizing the symbol, the stranger would add a second curved line and complete the drawing of a fish. It is a very simple shape to draw - just two curved strokes. It could be drawn quickly, and erased just as quickly if there was no sign of recognition on the part of the stranger. Now with this simple keyring from MMLJ Christian Gifts, we are reminded that our lives are not as difficult as the early Christians whose faith could be life-threatening. This Christian keyring is available in either blue or red and reminds us of Christ as our savior.
Measures 2.8" H X 1.3" W X .3" D. Let MMLJ Christian Gifts put a name or a short message on the keyring for that personal touch!
MMLJ Christian Gifts Bible Trivia Facts: The fish's first known use as a Christian religious symbol was sometime within the first three centuries AD. Christians began using the Greek word for "fish" as an anagram/acronym for "Jesus Christ God's Son, Savior."
The fish outline is a logical symbol for the early Christian church to adopt. Not only was fish a common food of the day, it was also used by Jesus during His ministry. The symbol of the fish was a sort of "secret" passcode while Christians were being prosecuted for their faith.
