IXOYE
as well as the Christian Fish symbol are carved inth the body of this
highly symbolic cross. IXOYE in Greek is pronounced Ichthys or fish in
English. This is a symbol used by the very earily christians. Iota is
the first letter of the word Isous which is translated in Greek as
Jesus, Chi is the first letter of the word Christos that means
annointed, Theta is the first letter of word Theou meaning God's,
Ypsilon is the first letter of the word Yios and is Greek for Son and
Sigma is the first letter of the word Soter meaning Savior. All together
the Greek letters for fish represent "Jesus Annointed God's Son Savior".
Tradition has it that when a Christian met a stranger in the road, the
Christian sometimes drew one arc of the simple fish outline in the dirt.
If the stranger drew the other arc, both believers knew they were in
good company. This cross is laser crafted from
1/4" premium white Russian birch then hand finished in red oak and gloss
lacquer and it comes in small, medium and large sizes.
It makes a wonderful gift or addition to your cross collection.
You may purchase from our Wood Christian Cross collection in our
ebay store.
