Ichthys Fish Lapel Pin

Description

The ichthys is a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish, and was used by early Christians as a secret symbol of faith. It is also known as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish." The symbology extends to the many references to fish and fisherman in the New Testament. Several of Jesus' twelve Apostles were fishermen and He commissions them with the words "I will make you fishers of men." The feeding of the multitudes and the Parable of Drawing in the Net (Matthew 13:47-50) are additional examples. This classic fish lapel pin design remains a subtle yet vivid statement of faith. In a shiny gold tone, it accents and complements nearly all fabrics and patterns. Suitable for church, business attire, and both formal and casual wear. The pin uses a standard military style butterfly clutch pin backing that tightly fits the single post pin.
