  • As a non-Moravian I solemnly admit, "Our Lamb has conquered, let us follow him." is indeed a pretty epic slogan.

    FACT: The eight-spoked wheel isn't used ONLY for Buddhists. If you take the five Greek letters that make up the word "ichthys" (iota, chi, theta, upslion, sigma) and sthen stack them on top of each other, you'll figure out that the eight-spoked "ichthys" wheel is also used by Christians during persecution in the Roman Empire.
  • What I missed is the explanation for the Ichtys: "Ἰησοῦς Χρῑστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ", Iēsoûs Khrīstós, Theoû Huiós, Sōtḗr; (first letters), which translates into English as 'Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior'.
  • Fun fact: The bottom bar on the Orthodox cross also represents the footrest. Oh, and the 4 crosses on the Jerusalem cross represent the 4 Gospel authors.
  • Ichthus is also an acronym: ΙΧΘΥΣ (which is the word for fish, ιχθύς) stands for Ιησούς Χριστός, Θεού Υιός, Σωτήρ (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior).
  • Also, the Chi Rho is a symbol that Emperor Constantine the Great saw in a vision where God spoke to him saying "In hoc signo vinces" (In this sign you shall conquer) before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge, and because Constantine defeated the pagan forces, it led to Rome becoming Christian and the sign became commonly used on the shields and standards of the legions in the Late Roman Empire.
  • At first I saw that a new video was up so I got excited until I realized it doesn’t premiere for another 14 hours ☹️
  • Inoffensive joke: According to Baptists, Eucharist and the Baptism should also be in the list of Christian symbols 😂

    Great point on the St Peter's Cross. I see all those devil worshippers who think they're "edgy" by using it but it makes me laugh that they clearly don't realise they are using a Christian symbol.
  • Catholics use the Chi-Rho symbol all the time. It is almost always in the sanctuary of our churches. And the IHS is also usually on our tabernacles.
  • For Roman catholics, IHS is also "Iesus Hominum Salvator" in latin.
  • The Vulning Pelican is one of my favorite Christian symbols. It represents Christ’s passion and redemptive sacrifice.
  • @sasi5841
    I like the Chi-Rho, especially when it is gold colored with a purple background and on a flag/banner
  • A few Catholic notes. There's actually several Catholic crosses four different religious orders. Like if you have the seal of Saint Benedict behind the crucifixed, it's a Benedictine cross. A capital t looking cross is called a Tau and is associated with Franciscan along with and iconographic cross called the cross of San Damiano. IHS is also used by the Jesuits a bunch. There's also the sacred heart which is a image of a heart crowned with thorns representing Jesus's heart, and its on fire with love for us. In the same style, people have made the immaculate heart which has a crown representing Mary's role as Queen Mother and it's pierced by seven swords representing the seven sorrows of our Lady and the prophecy of Simeon. More recently the chaste heart of St. Joseph which has a lily branch on it representing the purity of St. Joseph. It should be noted that the sacred heart came first and is celebrated on the first Friday of the month and the other two are more devotional in nature to the mother of Jesus and his foster father.
  • Don't forget about ICXC, and all of the hand symbols in iconography.
  • The Ichthys fisch does not only symbolises what it is, a fish. Ichthys is an acronym for the greek phrase: Iesus Christos Theos Huios Soter, whitch translates in Jesus Christ, Gods son, Savior.
