Ichthys or ichthus souvenir from Athens
I got this ichthys or ichthus souvenir during my visit to Athens, Greece. During the time of the Roman Empire, when the early believers were persecuted for being Christians, they adapted a way thru symbolism to identify and communicate with each other.

Nowadays it is known colloquially as the “sign of the fish” or the “Jesus fish”. ***

The church contains the two holiest sites in Christendom: the site where Jesus of Nazareth was crucified known as Calvary in Latin and Golgotha in Greek, and Jesus’s empty tomb, where he is said to have been buried and resurrected. Within the church proper are the last four (or, by some definitions, five) stations of the Via Dolorosa, representing the final episodes of Jesus’s…

Baptism Site of Jesus “Bethany Beyond the Jordan”
Throughout history and especially for Christians, the Jordan River has special spiritual significance that sets it aside from other rivers in the world. It is in the waters of Jordan that Jesus of Nazareth was baptized by John the Baptist. It is officially known as Baptism Site “Bethany Beyond the Jordan”. This area is considered to be the original location of the Baptism of Jesus. Please check other blogs below about my visit to Jordan. Amman Citadel
