"Pendant with an irregular round shape and relief decoration with two fishes in opposite direction inscribed in a circle. It is similar to the representation of Pisces, the twelfth astrological sign in the Zodiac. The fish is an ancient, widespread symbol in many religions and philosophies. In Feng Shui amulets bearing fish are considered to bring good luck in financial affairs. The fish is an important Christian symbol. It is mentioned and given symbolic meaning several times in the Gospels. Some of Jesus' twelve Apostles were fishermen. He commissions them with the words ""I will make you fishers of men"". At the feeding of the five thousand, Jesus fed the multitude by multiplying five loaves of bread and two fishes. Ichthys, the ancient Greek word for fish, was an acrostic and a substitute for Jesus himself and meant "Jesus Christ God's son Savior". According to the tradition, ancient Christians, during their persecution by the Roman Empire in the first few centuries after Christ, used the fish symbol to mark meeting places and tombs, or to distinguish friends from foes. That’s why fish are depicted in the 1st century AD catacombs in Rome.
