Our Cross and Ichthys Holy Water Font is simply beautiful. You will be amazed at how much the presence of a holy water font transforms the environment of your home. Think about how it functions at church: the minute you cross yourself with holy water, the entire environment, both physical and spiritual, is utterly changed. You can have this transformation at home too, in effect, bringing your family’s attention to the sacred that pervades every moment.
Bring the Sacred Into Your Home
This Holy Water Font is an excellent addition to your home both because of its symbolism and its versatile size. At 4 x 2.5 x 2 inches, it can easily and unobtrusively be mounted at the entrance to your dining room or kitchen, or even in your entryway or foyer. It is made out of beautiful hand-wrought bronze, and features the important symbolism of the cross and ichthys. Without a doubt, if you are looking for a way to quickly bring a more profound sense of reverence and spirituality into your home, this Holy Water Font is ideal. It is also, of course, well suited to all liturgical uses, be it in a chapel or a church.
Ichthys (ΙΧΘΥΣ) – Shorthand Symbol for the Christian Faith
The Ichthys (ἰχθύς, capitalized ΙΧΘΥΣ), Greek for “fish,” is an acronym that was used by the early Christians as a shorthand symbol for their faith: “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior”
І — Іησους – Iesous – Jesus
Χ — Χριστος – Christos – Christ
Θ — Θεου – Theou – of God
Υ — Υιος – Huios – Son
Σ — Σωτηρ – Soter – Savior
Now that we are reborn, as I have said, in the likeness of our Lord, and have indeed been adopted by God as his children, let us put on the complete image of our Creator so as to be wholly like him, not in the glory that he alone possesses, but in innocence, simplicity, gentleness, patience, humility, mercy, harmony, those qualities in which he chose to become, and to be, one with us.
―St Peter Chrysologus
The Greek word for fish, ІΧΘΥΣ (ICHTHYS), is an acronym that was used by the early Christians as a shorthand symbol for their faith: “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior”
І — Іησους – Jesus
Χ — Χριστος – Christ
Θ — Θεου – of God
Υ — Υιος – Son
Σ — Σωτηρ – Savior
In his City of God (Book 18, Chapter 23), Saint Augustine of Hippo provides an interesting account, drawing from the pre-Christian Sibylline Oracles:
For Flaccianus, a very famous man, who was also a proconsul, a man of most ready eloquence and much learning, when we were speaking about Christ, produced a Greek manuscript, saying that it was the prophecies of the Erythræan sibyl, in which he pointed out a certain passage which had the initial letters of the lines so arranged that these words could be read in them: ᾿Ιησοῦς Χριστος Θεοῦ υιὸς σωτηρ, which means, Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Saviour. And these verses, of which the initial letters yield that meaning, contain what follows as translated by some one into Latin in good rhythm:
Ι Judgment shall moisten the earth with the sweat of its standard,
Η Ever enduring, behold the King shall come through the ages,
Σ Sent to be here in the flesh, and Judge at the last of the world.
Ο O God, the believing and faithless alike shall behold You
Υ Uplifted with saints, when at last the ages are ended.
Σ Seated before Him are souls in the flesh for His judgment.
Χ Hid in thick vapors, the while desolate lies the earth.
Ρ Rejected by men are the idols and long hidden treasures;
Ε Earth is consumed by the fire, and it searches the ocean and heaven;
Ι Issuing forth, it destroys the terrible portals of hell.
Σ Saints in their body and soul freedom and light shall inherit;
Τ Those who are guilty shall burn in fire and brimstone for ever.
Ο Occult actions revealing, each one shall publish his secrets;
Σ Secrets of every man’s heart God shall reveal in the light.
Θ Then shall be weeping and wailing, yea, and gnashing of teeth;
Ε Eclipsed is the sun, and silenced the stars in their chorus.
Ο Over and gone is the splendor of moonlight, melted the heaven,
Υ Uplifted by Him are the valleys, and cast down the mountains.
Υ Utterly gone among men are distinctions of lofty and lowly.
Ι Into the plains rush the hills, the skies and oceans are mingled.
Ο Oh, what an end of all things! earth broken in pieces shall perish;
Σ ….Swelling together at once shall the waters and flames flow in rivers.
Σ Sounding the archangel’s trumpet shall peal down from heaven,
Ω Over the wicked who groan in their guilt and their manifold sorrows.
Τ Trembling, the earth shall be opened, revealing chaos and hell.
Η Every king before God shall stand in that day to be judged.
Ρ Rivers of fire and brimstone shall fall from the heavens.
….they express in five Greek words this meaning, Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Saviour. And the verses are twenty-seven, which is the cube of three. For three times three are nine; and nine itself, if tripled, so as to rise from the superficial square to the cube, comes to twenty-seven. But if you join the initial letters of these five Greek words, ᾿Ιησοῦς Χριστος Θεοῦ υἰὸς σωτήρ, which mean, Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Saviour, they will make the word ἰχθὺς, that is, fish, in which word Christ is mystically understood, because He was able to live, that is, to exist, without sin in the abyss of this mortality as in the depth of waters.
