Early Christian Symbols

Among the catalogue of the most popular Early Christian symbols are the anchor, the fish, the "Seed of Life" (six petalled flower), the dove and the peacock and Greek letters (Alpha and Omega) which signified the fullness of all thing. As art historians frequently observe, the crucifix with a tortured body only become the dominant symbol of Christianity after the year 1000.

I invite you to inscribe your art journal with each of these images and see what messages they may wish to offer to you. Do they connect you with different aspects of inner knowing or faith?
