Title:
Chrismon - Anchor Cross - Cross Of Hope
Year:
1970
Description:
The anchor is a very early Christian symbol that has been found in the catacombs. About seventy examples of it have been found in the cemetery of Priscilla alone. In the oldest of these (second century) the anchor is found associated with such expressions as pax tecum, pax tibi, in pace, thus expressing the firm hope of the authors of these inscriptions that their friends have been admitted to Heaven. Because of its great importance in navigation, the anchor was regarded in ancient times as a symbol of safety. The Christians, therefore, in adopting the anchor as a symbol of hope in future existence, merely gave a new and higher significance to a familiar emblem.
It also reminds us that many of Jesus’ apostles were fishermen and that we are commissioned to be fishers of people.
Hebrews 6:19 - “We have this hope as an anchor for the soul, firm and secure.”
