A bag full of scatter-décor in the shape of the Ichthys. The fish are 2.5 x 1cm large, are crafted from wood and are brown, green and blue in colour. Wonderfully fitting as table décor for Christian celebrations such as Baptisms, first Communion and Confirmations.
The "Ichthys" symbol originates in the greek language, with "Ichthys" meaning "Fish". Back in the day when Christianity was outlawed, the first Christians used this symbol as a secret way to recognize each other. In order to find out wether a stranger was a follower of Jesus, they drew a curved line in the sand. If the stranger completed the fish with a curved line of their own, they showed that they were a christian as well.
The fish wasn’t chosen at random, but rather has two meanings. Firstly, it refers Mark 1:17 where Jesus called upon Simon (who was later named Peter) and his brother Andrew while they were fishing in the Sea of Galilee to go with him and become fishers of men. As well as this, a type of profession of faith can be derived from the beginning letters of the Greek word:
I - Jesus
Ch - Christ [the "anointed", in Hebrew "Maschiach" (the Messiah)]
Th – God‘s
Y – Son
S – Saviour

Symbols often say more than words. These colourful rainbow fish show us that Jesus makes our lives colourful. A symbol of blessing that can be used for a number of occasions within congregational work. Each piece is a one of a kind! These small pieces of art are carefully cut, ground and finally polished with wax by hand in line with a long tradition. These little pieces have been painted with trend colours since the beginning of the 1990’s. Because of this, no fish is like another. Each one is unique, a true one of a kind! Fair trade with our partners is important to us. That why we take great care that contracts are spread over the whole year and the payment is made fairly to trade partners.
