Fish Trailer Hitch Cover: An Expression of Faith.

When there is something that means more to you than anything else it becomes necessary to share it. For Christians it is the belief in Jesus Christ and the salvation promised through him. The fish trailer hitch cover is just another small way to express your faith in the ancient Christian teachings.

The fish symbol has a brave and fascinating history dating right back to the first centuries A.D. when Christians became the target of a radical persecution that forced them to meet in the dark catacombs that lay beneath the city of Rome. The fish was an acronym for the Greek words: Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior. If you took the first letters of each word and put them together they made up the Greek word for fish.

The Christian fish also bears a remarkable resemblance to the first symbol of the Greek alphabet, alpha. Jesus Christ became known as the alpha and the omega, the beginning and the end. The fish symbol was a secret one used as a means for Christians to recognize each other without having to incriminate themselves. One of them would draw the top half of the fish symbol in the sand and if the other person was a Christian they would complete the symbol.

The fish trailer hitch cover is available in several different designs. There is the die cast chrome style that fits into a 2" receiver and costs around $20. Another one has the symbol etched in silver on a black enamel background made of a durable non-corrosive alloy that is weather hardened and rattle proof. A variation on the theme is the addition of the name Jesus within the fish symbol for around $15.
