What is the significance of the Concordia Deaconess Conference – LCMS cross?
The Concordia Deaconess Conference – LCMS (CDC) cross starts with the cross because Jesus is the center of our faith and life. The edges of the cross flare out to form Easter lilies, symbolizing the Resurrection that we proclaim to the four corners of the world. The cross is inscribed with four fish that meet in the center. Fish are used because the first letters of the Greek words for Jesus Christ, God’s son, Savior, form the word for fish (ICHTHUS).
