A type of ring originally worn by the pope and known as the “Fisherman’s
Ring”; Its purpose was to link the ministry of the pope with ministry of St.
Peter the Apostle. By the 11th century, all bishops adopted the custom as a
reminder of their participation in the ministry of the Apostles.The bishop’s
ring is a symbol of the bishop’s fidelity to and nuptial bond with the church, his
spouse and is usually made of gold with an amethyst. It was first mentioned as
an official part of the bishop’s insignia in the early seventh century. Moreover,
in Catholic tradition, to reverence or “kiss” the ring of the bishop as a sign of
respect for his authority, is still proper.
Alpha and Omega (Ω) are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and a
title of Christ and God in the book of revelation.This couple of letters are used
as Christian symbols.The use since the earliest Christianity of the first and the
last letters of the Greek alphabet, derives from the statement said by Jesus (or
God) himself: “I am Alpha and Omega,the First and the Last,the Beginning and the
End”.
