Salib, sejak zaman dulu sampai sekarang, merupakan lambang [[Kekristenan]] yang paling mudah dikenal di seluruh dunia.

Accordingly the Christian Fathers had to defend themselves, as early as the second century, against the charge of being worshipers of the cross, as may be learned from Tertullian, "Apologia," xii., xvii., and Minucius Felix, "Octavius," xxix.

For your very standards, as well as your banners; and flags of your camp, what else are they but crosses glided and adorned? Your victorious trophies not only imitate the appearance of a simple cross, but also that of a man affixed to it. We assuredly see the sign of a cross,1816 naturally, in the ship when it is carried along with swelling sails, when it glides forward with expanded oars; and when the military yoke is lifted up, it is the sign of a cross; and when a man adores God with a pure mind, with hands outstretched. Thus the sign of the cross either is sustained by a natural reason, or your own religion is formed with respect to it."
Pada awal abad ke-3 salib telah sedemikian dikaitkan dengan [[Kristus]] sehingga [[Klemens dari Alexandria]], yang meninggal antara tahun 211 dan 216, tanpa takut disalahartikan menggunakan frasa ''{{lang|grc|τὸ κυριακὸν σημεῖον}}'' (tanda Tuhan) yang berarti "salib", ketika dia mengulangi ide yang baru berkembang sejak munculnya [[Surat Barnabas]], bahwa angka 318 (dalam penulisan angka Yunani menggunakan huruf-huruf ΤΙΗ) dalam {{Alkitab|Kejadian 14:14}} adalah suatu ramalan perlambang semacam salib (T, garis tegak dengan garis melintang, melambangkan nilai 300) dan Yesus (ΙΗ, dua hurud pertama nama-Nya dalam bahasa Yunani, ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, melambangkan nilai 18).<ref name="CA">[http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-stromata-book6.html Stromata, book VI, chapter XI]</ref>

Pada awal abad ke-3 salib telah sedemikian dikaitkan dengan [[Kristus]] sehingga [[Klemens dari Alexandria]], yang meninggal antara tahun 211 dan 216, tanpa takut disalahartikan menggunakan frasa ''{{lang|grc|τὸ κυριακὸν σημεῖον}}'' (tanda Tuhan) yang berarti "salib", ketika dia mengulangi ide yang baru berkembang sejak munculnya [[Surat Barnabas]], bahwa angka 318 (dalam penulisan angka Yunani menggunakan huruf-huruf ΤΙΗ) dalam {{Alkitab|Kejadian 14:14}} adalah suatu ramalan perlambang semacam salib (T, garis tegak dengan garis melintang, melambangkan nilai 300) dan Yesus (ΙΗ, dua hurud pertama nama-Nya dalam bahasa Yunani, ΙΗΣΟΥΣ, melambangkan nilai 18).<ref name="CA">[http://www.earlychristianwritings.com/text/clement-stromata-book6.html Stromata, book VI, chapter XI]</ref>
Tokoh Kristen yang hidup sezaman, [[Tertullian]] dapat mengistilahkan kelompok orang Kristen yang percaya sebagai ''crucis religiosi'', artinya "pengikut Salib".<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0301.htm ''Apology''., chapter xvi.] In this chapter and elsewhere in the same book, Tertullian clearly distinguishes between a cross and a stake.</ref> Dalam bukunya ''De Corona'', ditulis tahun 204, Tertullian menceritakan sudah adanya tradisi orang-orang Kristen berulang kali menggerakkan tangan membuat tanda salib di kening mereka.<ref>"At every forward step and movement, at every going in and out, when we put on our clothes and shoes, when we bathe, when we sit at table, when we light the lamps, on couch, on seat, in all the ordinary actions of daily life, we trace upon the forehead the sign" ([http://www.ccel.org/ccel/schaff/anf03.iv.vi.iii.html ''De Corona'', chapter 3])</ref>
 
<!--
[[Tertulianus]] yang hidup sezaman dengan Klemens juga menolak tuduhan bahwa orang Kristen adalah ''crucis religiosi'' (yaitu "pemuja/penyembah tiang gantungan"), dan membalikkan tuduhan tersebut dengan cara mempersamakan penyembahan berhala [[pagan]] dengan penyembahan tiang pancang atau tonggak.<ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/fathers/0301.htm ''Apology''., chapter xvi.] Tertullian uses ''crux'' "cross", ''palus'' "pole" and ''stipes'' "stake" interchangeably for rhetoric effect:
Jewish Encyclopedia menulis:
"Then, if any of you think we render superstitious adoration to the cross, in that adoration he is sharer with us. If you offer homage to a piece of wood at all, it matters little what it is like when the substance is the same: it is of no consequence the form, if you have the very body of the god. And yet how far does the Athenian Pallas differ from the stock of the cross, or the Pharian Ceres as she is put up uncarved to sale, a mere rough stake and piece of shapeless wood? Every stake fixed in an upright position is a portion of the cross; we render our adoration, if you will have it so, to a god entire and complete. We have shown before that your deities are derived from shapes modelled from the cross."

=== Ichthys ===
Simbol '''Ichthys''' (IXΘΥΣ atau '''Ichthus''') [[FileBerkas:Ichthys symbol.svg|25px]] yang berwujud "ikan" (yaitu makna kata "ichthys") banyak digunakan oleh orang [[Kristen]] perdana sebagai lambang yang penting. Popularitasnya di kalangan orang Kristen dikarenakan kata "IXΘΥΣ" ini dapat merupakan singkatan akrostik terkenal dari lima kata [[bahasa Yunani Koine]] yang menggambarkan hakekathakikat [[Yesus]] [[Kristus]] dan apa yang diimbangi oleh orang-orang yang percaya kepada-Nya yaitu: '''Ἰ'''ησοῦς '''Χ'''ριστός, '''Θ'''εοῦ '''Υ'''ἱός, '''Σ'''ωτήρ", (Iēsous Christos, Theou Huios, Sōtēr), artinya "[[Yesus]] [[Kristus]], [[Putra Allah]], [[Juruselamat]]".<ref name="cefish">{{CathEncy |wstitle=Symbolism of the Fish| author=Maurice Hassett }}</ref> Penjelasan ini diberikan antara lain oleh [[Augustinus]] dalam karya tulisannya "[[Civitate Dei]]" ("Kota Allah"),<ref>{{cite wikisource |title=The City of God |wslink=The City of God/Book XVIII/Chapter 23 |author=Augustine |authorlink=Augustine |at=XVIII, 23}}</ref> di mana ia juga mencatat bahwa kalimat "''Ίησοῦς Χρειστός Θεοῦ Υἱός Σωτήρ''" terdiri dari 27 huruf, yaitu 3 x 3 x 3, yang pada zaman itu melambangkan "kekuasaan".
 
=== Alfa dan Omega ===
{{main|Alfa dan Omega}}
Simbol "Alfa dan Omega" [[FileBerkas:Alpha-omega.png|30px]] digunakan sejak awal [[Kekristenan]], mengambil huruf pertama dan terakhir [[alfabet Yunani]], [[Alpha]] ('''α''' atau '''Α''') dan [[Omega]] ('''ω''' atau '''Ω'''), yang diturunkan dari pernyataan [[Yesus]] [[Kristus]] (atau Allah) sendiri "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" ({{Alkitab|Wahyu 22:13}}, juga 1:8 dan 21:6).

Staurogram pada mulanya dipakai untuk menyingkat kata Yunani untuk "salib" dalam naskah kuno [[Perjanjian Baru]], misalnya [[Papirus 66|P66]], [[Papirus 45|P45]] dan [[Papirus 75|P75]], seperti halnya suatu [[nomina sacra]].<ref name="Hurtado">{{cite book | editor-last = Kraus | editor-first = Thomas | title = New Testament Manuscripts | publisher = Brill | location = Leiden | year = 2006 | isbn = 978-90-04-14945-8 | chapter=The staurogram in early Christian manuscripts: the earliest visual reference to the crucified Jesus? | first=Larry| last=Hutado| authorlink=Larry W.

[[Ephrem dari Siria]] in the 4th-century explained these two united letters stating that the tau refers to the [[Christian cross|cross]], and the rho refers to the Greek word "help" ({{lang-el|Βoηθια}}) which has the [[Greek numerals|numeric value]] of 100 as the letter rho has. In such a way the symbol expresses the idea that the Cross saves.<ref name="Hurtado"/> The two letters tau and rho can also be found separately as symbols on early Christian [[ossuaries]].<ref name="Bagatti"/>
-->
Huruf "Tau" dianggap lambang keselamatan karena identifikasi huruf tersebut dengan huruf Ibrani "[[Taw (huruf Ibrani)|Taw]], yang pada [[Yehezkiel 9#Ayat 4|Yehezkiel 9:4]] merupakan tanda di kening orang-orang yang diselamatkan dari penghukuman Allah, maupun penampakan lengan [[Musa]] yang dibentangkan dalam {{Alkitab|Keluaran 17:11}}.<ref name="Hurtado"/> Huruf Rho sendiri melambangkan Kristus sebagai [[Mesias]] karena [[Abraham]], sebagai lambang Mesias, memperanakkan [[Ishak]] menurut janji Allah ketika ia berusia 100 tahun dan 100 adalah angka yang dilambangkan oleh huruf rho.<ref name="Bagatti"/>{{rp|158}}

Tersusun dari tumpang tindih huruf-huruf pertama Yunani dari [[Yesus]] ("IHSOUS") dan [[Kristus]] ("XPEIΣTOΣ"), yaitu [[Iota]] '''Ι''' dan [[Chi]] '''Χ''', sehingga [[monogram]] ini berarti "Yesus Kristus".<ref name="Bagatti">{{cite book |title=The church from the circumcision: history and archaeology of the Judaeo-Christians |last=Bagatti |first=Bellarmino |authorlink= Bellarmino Bagatti |year=1984 |series=Studium Biblicum Franciscanum, Collectio Minor, n.2 |location=Jerusalem}}</ref>{{rp|166}} Penjelasan yang lebih kompleks dari monogram ini diberikan oleh [[Irenaeus]]<ref>Ireneaus, Adv Haer, 1.15.2</ref> dan [[Pachomius]]: karena nilai huruf Iota adalah 10 dan huruf Chi adalah huruf dari kata [[Kristus]] ("XPEIΣTOΣ") yang terdiri dari 8 huruf, maka para [[bapa gereja]] ini menggunakan angka-angka tersebut untuk mendapatkan nilai 888 ((10*8)*10)+((10*8)+8) yang sudah dikenal melambangkan [[Yesus]], mengingat jumlah nilai huruf-huruf Yunaninya adalah 888 (IHΣΟΥΣ: 10+8+200+70+400+200).<ref name="Bagatti"/>{{rp|169-170}}

===Anchor [[File:Anchor pictogram.svg|20px]]===
The Christians adopted the [[anchor]] as a symbol of hope in future existence because the anchor was regarded in ancient times as a symbol of safety. For Christians, Christ is the unfailing hope of all who believe in him: [[Saint Peter]], [[Paul the Apostle|Saint Paul]], and several of the early [[Church Fathers]] speak in this sense. The [[Epistle to the Hebrews]] {{bibleverse-nb||Hebrews|6:19-20|KJV}} for the first time connects the idea of hope with the symbol of the anchor.<ref name="CEanchor">{{CathEncy |wstitle=The Anchor (as Symbol)| author=Maurice Hassett}}</ref>
 
A fragment of inscription discovered in the [[Catacombs of Rome|catacomb of St. Domitilla]] contains the anchor, and dates from the end of the first century. During the second and third centuries the anchor occurs frequently in the epitaphs of the catacombs. The most common form of anchor found in early Christian images was that in which one extremity terminates in a ring adjoining the cross-bar while the other ends in two curved branches or an arrowhead; There are, however, many deviations from this form.<ref name="CEanchor"/> In general the anchor can symbolize hope, steadfastness, calm and composure.<ref>{{cite book| last=Klöpping| first=Laura | year=2012 |publisher=GRIN Verlag |isbn=978-3-656-13453-4 |page= 5 |title=Customs, Habits and Symbols of the Protestant Religion }}</ref>

At the very least, the rite is seen as a symbol of the spiritual change or event that takes place. In the Eucharist, the bread and wine are, at the least, symbolic of the broken body and shed blood of [[Jesus]], and in Roman Catholicism, become the ''actual'' [[Body of Christ]] and [[Blood of Christ]] through [[Transubstantiation]], which in turn represent [[salvation]] brought to the recipient by the death of Jesus.<ref name="ce" />

The rite of baptism is, at the least, symbolic of the cleansing of the sinner by God, and, especially where baptism is by immersion, of the spiritual death and resurrection of the baptized person. Opinion differs as to the symbolic nature of the sacraments, with some [[Protestant]] denominations considering them entirely symbolic, and [[Roman Catholic]]s, Orthodox, Lutherans, and some Reformed Christians believing that the outward rites truly do, by the power of God, act as media of grace.<ref name="ce" />
 
===IconsIkon===
The tomb paintings of the early Christians led to the development of [[icon]]s. An icon is an image, picture, or representation; it is likeness that has symbolic meaning for an object by signifying or representing it, or by analogy, as in [[semiotics]]. The use of icons, however, was never without opposition. It was recorded that, "there is no century between the fourth and the eighth in which there is not some evidence of opposition to images even within the Church.<ref>Ernst Kitzinger, ''The Cult of Images in the Age before Iconoclasm'', Dumbarton Oaks, 1954, quoted by Pelikan, Jaroslav; ''The Spirit of Eastern Christendom'' 600-1700, University of Chicago Press, 1974.</ref> Nonetheless, popular favor for icons guaranteed their continued existence, while no systematic apologia for or against icons, or doctrinal authorization or condemnation of icons yet existed.

Though significant in the history of religious doctrine, the Byzantine controversy over images is not seen as of primary importance in Byzantine history. "Few historians still hold it to have been the greatest issue of the period..."<ref>Patricia Karlin-Hayter, ''Oxford History of Byzantium'', Oxford University Press, 2002.</ref>
