| | Symbol - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Religious and metaphysical writings are also known for their use of esoteric symbolism. | | | A symbol is usually recognized only within some specific culture, religion, or discipline, but a few hundred symbols are now recognized internationally. | | | Alchemical writings made extensive use of symbols for spiritual and chemical processes (which they also saw as symbols of each other). |

| | In Judaism and Christianity religious symbolism is important, notably in the prophetic passages in the Bible and in the uses of public worship (see, for example, candle ; incense ; liturgy ; sacrament ; see also iconography). | | | Greek religion, on the contrary, seemed to eliminate symbols of gods in favor of actual images. | | | The most important use of symbols is in language. |

| | Fish Symbol |
| | The symbol itself, the eating of fish on Friday and the association of the symbol with deity were all taken over by the early Church from Pagan sources. | | | The symbol itself may have come from the miraculous story of the loaves and fishes (John 6:1-13) or from the meal of fish Jesus shared with His disciples at the Sea of Galilee after the Resurrection (John 21:1-13). | | | The fish outline is a logical symbol for the early Christian church to adopt. |

| | * How we confuse symbols and things |
| | But religion in all its manifestations can never do more than symbolize the reality of individual religious and spiritual experience. | | | None of this is to say that spiritual experiences are fraudulent. | | | Most western religions begin their indoctrination by asserting the basic evil of individual experience and the absolute necessity of the religion itself. |

| | There must, therefore, be existent instances of what the symbol denotes, although we must here understand by "existent," existent in the possibly imaginary universe to which the symbol refers. | | | "A symbol is a sign naturally fit to declare that the set of objects which is denoted by whatever set of indices may be in certain ways attached to it is represented by an icon associated with it. | | | It will not, however, be by any means true that the slight effect upon the symbol of those instances accounts for the significant character of the symbol."

| | Not surprising, since symbols are strictly forbidden by the Lord God, symbols are highly esteemed in witchcraft and the occult. | | | The symbol is known as a 'triquetra' that is derived from ancient Celtic knotwork & adopted by Christians around St. Patrick's time as a symbol of the Trinity(Father, Son, & Holy Spirit). | | | It's also worth noting the symbol used by P.O.D. is also on the cover of the New King James Bible. |

It also signifies fertility, but with the arms pointing downward, it denotes evil and death. | | | Occultist Albert Pike also identifies this symbol as mystical in his book on Freemasonry Morals and Dogma. |

| | The EUCHARIST: ONLY a symbol? |
| | As David Tracy noted, the symbolic or analogical imagination is a special Catholic gift, something the intensity of which distinguishes Catholics from members of other denominations and religions. | | | In the first few centuries of Christianity, mysteria (sacramenta) designated the symbols and rituals in which believers participated in order to become and remain part of the life of Christ. | | | The Eucharistic focus wasn't on bread and wine; it was on the communal action of breaking and sharing bread which was in turn understood as symbolic of God's ongoing nurturing of the people--in other words, the mutual outflowing and inflowing of sustaining divine love into and through the people. |
