The fish was the emblem
of the early Christians.
The letters of the Greek word “fish” (ICTUS) signify “Jesus
Christ, Son of God Saviour”; the fish was thus the means
of representing Christ.
In the same way, (like the early Christians) we come together at
our meetings. Also, the French word “equipe” (team)
comes from the old French word “esquif”, which meant
a small boat; there also we can find the symbol of the fish.
We can therefore see in the fish symbol both a reference to Christ,
the basis of our existence, and to the Teams.
The rings: they are wedding
rings, which symbolise commitment, love, and faithfulness
to the beloved person whom we have chosen.
The rings, in the form of circles interlaced on the fish, symbolise
the covenant of God with His people, from which Christian Marriage
draws its foundation, and from which it receives its own nature
as a sacrament.
