Protection cross coin Jesus Christ Wins necklace Christogram talisman pendant on coin-shape oxidized sterling silver. Constantinato charm. Jesus Crist symbol pendant on coin-shape oxidized sterling silver framed within a silver 18 karats gold-filled base. A pendant designed by Rafael Santarosa based on the apotropaic symbol in the name of Jesus Christ. It is the abbreviation of the phrase “Jesus Crist is victorious” that comes from the Byzantine religious tradition. The prototype writing in byzantine letters were IC XC NI KA and they used to say it as a prayer and to bare it as a protection shield against evil. SYMBOLISM OF IC XC NIKAA Greek Cross surrounded by the letters IC XC NIKA as a Christian SymbolWhat does this Christian symbol mean?IC XC NIKA means “Jesus Christ Conquers.” ​The IC and XC are the first and last letters in the Greek words for Jesus and Christ, respectively. NIKA is connected to the word for victory, which we know from Greek mythology and even consumerism as “Nike.” Where can I find this Christian symbol? This formula was historically quite popular in the Eastern tradition, appearing frequently on Icons. Also, in traditions using wafers for communion, this formula can sometimes be found stamped on the wafers. Some denominations throughout history have incorporated this symbol in their denominational imagery, and it will sometimes appear on various vestments, banners, or engravings. It is much more rare in newer artwork since few people are familiar with its significance. It can also be seen accompanying various forms of crosses such as the Greek Cross on this page or Patriarchal crosses.Leading a Bible Study with this symbolRead Romans 8.31-39 and I Corinthians 15.50-58. What does it mean here to be “more than conquerors?” Who is the conqueror? What is conquered?Next read Psalm 20. What kinds of “victories” do we yearn for? What victory does the Psalmist describe? How are these victories similar to or different from the conquering we find in Romans 8? Finally, read I John 5.1-5. How might this influence your understanding of Christ as conqueror? Passages like these may come to mind when we see symbols like those found on this page. Are you comfortable with this kind of imagery? Why or why not?How could I preach using the symbolism of IC XC NIKA? Similar to the fish, this symbol can be easy to preach because it is a proclamation. This would be a great symbol to use any time you are discussing faith or hopeAlso available in two more sizes 1.7 cm click : Protection cross coinshape Jesus Christ Wins silver Constantinato talisman charm | eBay 2 cm click : Protection cross coinshape Jesus Christ Wins silver Constantinato talisman charm | eBay Thanks for visiting my shop.My name is Athanasios, I live in Greece and I design and I handcraft Jewellery based on ancient and byzantine Greek tradition.
