6 Common Symbols Used For Christian Lapel Pins

While the easy customization of enamel lapel pins means that you can choose whatever symbol or design you desire, there are undeniably some symbols that are more prevalent in Christianity (and therefore used more often for accessories like lapel pins) than others. Some of these symbols are as follows:
Symbol of Cross

Cross

Understandably, one of the most iconic symbols for Christianity, the cross, is featured on many custom pins. Sometimes it is a simple cross, done in gold or silver (or another color), while other times it is a detailed cross (complete with a crucified Jesus) or a cross with extra decoration or adornment (crosses wrapped in flowers have been particularly popular in recent years, for example).

Ultimately, the cross is one of the most well-known symbols associated with Christianity. There are undeniably cross symbols that are more prevalent in Christianity than others. It is used more often like lapel pins, so it is a common choice for many custom lapel pins.
Symbol of Fish

Fish

Also known as ichthys, this symbol consists of two intersecting arcs that combine to form a symbol that resembles a fish. Originally a secret symbol used by early Christians hundreds of years ago, it is a representation of an Ancient Greek acronym for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour. There is also further Christian symbolism associated with the fish as well.

John 21:11 in particular (where Jesus instructed a group of struggling fishermen to cast their nets over the side of the boat, whereupon they caught 153 fish). It is another symbol that is heavily associated with Christianity today, and as such is an excellent choice for use as quality lapel pins.
Symbol of Dove

Dove

Doves have been a popular symbol among Christians for a very long time as well. Not only can a dove represent the Holy Spirit, but they also symbolize peace. Additionally, doves are well known for their role in the story of Noah’s Ark; it was a dove that Noah sent out to search for land, and the dove returning with an olive branch was what told Noah that the dangers of the Great Flood were over and that there was land remaining that he and his family could settle on.

Ultimately, doves have a powerful symbolism that is deeply tied to Christianity, making them a popular choice for Christian lapel pins.
Crown of Thorns

Crown of Thorns

This symbol comes from the crown of thorns that Jesus was wearing during his crucifixion. Originally put upon his head as a form of mockery by the soldiers who were crucifying him, it now represents the willingness of Jesus to sacrifice his life to atone for the sins of mankind as a whole.

While not as popular for use in accessories as other symbols like the cross or the dove, the crown of thorns is still a common enough choice for lapel pins (and is also sometimes used in combination with a cross, to more obviously evoke the imagery and symbolism of the Crucifixion).
Symbol of Christian Flag

Christian flag

Christian flag lapel pins are also incredibly common, and feature (as the name implies) the flag that represents the Christian religion. Currently, that flag has a white field with a blue canton, and within that blue canton is a red cross ( with the color red symbolizing the bloodshed by Jesus).

The Christian flag is a universalist flag designed in the early 20th century and represents the entire Christianity and Christianity. Since its adoption by the Federal Church Council in 1942, it has been adopted by many Christian traditions, including Anglican, Baptist, Mennonite, Methodist, Moravian, Lutheran, Presbyterian, Kui Grams, reforms, etc.
Sheep or Lamb

Sheep or Lamb

Lambs also have a strong symbolism within the Christian religion, and as such are also a common choice for custom pins. The symbolism of the lamb comes from a title given to Jesus by John the Baptist; in the Gospel of John (John 1:29 specifically), Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God.

Ultimately, many different symbols can be used for Christian custom lapel pins depending upon your own personal preference, but there is no doubt that whatever you choose will have a significant meaning to you and that your custom lapel pin will function as a valuable accessory that you can wear whenever you desire.
