Pray, How Often? Pop culture and commerical images
in service to the Christian faith ... or is it Christianity in service to commercialism?
You decide.
The Fish
The fish has been an important Christian symbol, not
only because of the fact that Jesus included several fishermen in his close circle,
but also because The initial letters of each word in the Greek phrase "Jesus
Christ, Son of God, Savior" form the word ICHTHUS, which means "fish."
The Ankh Cross
The Ankh Cross is an ancient Egyptian
symbol for life, combining the feminine circle and masculine staff to form the
whole. It was adapted by early Christians because of its resemblance to the cross.
