Come after Me and I will make you become fishers of men.", Mark 1:17. In the early days, Christians suffered persecution, so when they met someone they suspected was a fellow Christian, one would draw half of the fish symbol in the sand and if the other understood he would draw the other half, and they would know they were brothers in Christianity.

It comes with a certificate verifying the wood came from the prunings of Holyland olive trees. A Christian cross can be substituted for the fish if you prefer. Call 267-242-6010. It comes with a certificate of authentication. The pen measures approximately 7/16 in wide by 5 1/2 inches long. Comes in a gray velour lined case. Ships by USPS Priority mail.
