| Title: | Trinity Church, Boston - ICHTHUS |
|---|
| Notes: | Trinity Church, Boston, was completed in 1877. Its architect was H. H. Richardson, and numerous artists and craftspeople contributed to the interior design. In 1971, Trinity was designated a National Historic Landmark for "possessing "exceptional value in commemorating or illustrating the history of the United States." The word for fish in Greek is ICHTHUS, which represents the first letter of each Greek word of Jesus Christ God's Son Savior. Three fish are symbolic of the three days that Jonah spent in the belly of the whale, which prefigures Jesus' three days from death to resurrection. This wood carving is in the chancel area of Trinity Church, Boston. Donated by Anne Richardson, Nashville, TN. |
