The symbol of the fish was used by believers in the early days of Christian persecution as a secret sign of shared faith. One person would draw an arc in the sand and the other would complete the sign as a show of brotherhood. Using this once secret symbol of Christianity hooked around the cross, The Fisherman's Cross is designed as a daily reminder to go forth, tellling others of the kingdom of God. Hand-crafted of iron. 11"h x 9"w x 2"d. Comes with a story card and gift box
