During the Roman Empire, between the years 64 and 313 AD, Christians were prosecuted and killed, as it was against the law to follow Christianity. Thus, during this time, Christians could not use the “cross� on which Jesus had been crucified, as the symbole of their fate. Thus, they had to find something similar to express their fate; and hence, the anchor was used. With so much significance, the anchor is quoted in the bible as representing hope.
