The History and Symbolism of Door Knockers
Door knockers have been a functional and decorative element of architecture for centuries, long before the invention of the electric doorbell. Their history dates back to ancient Greece and Rome, where ornate knockers on the doors of important houses symbolized the owner's status and wealth. The anchor symbol itself is even older. For ancient seafarers, the anchor represented safety and a secure return to port. It later became an important symbol in Christianity, representing faith, hope, and salvation.
An Interesting Fact: The Anchor as a Secret Symbol
During the persecution of early Christians in the Roman Empire, the anchor served as a secret symbol of identification. Its shape discreetly resembled a cross, and the Greek word for fish (ICHTHYS), another Christian symbol, is an acronym for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour." This allowed believers to safely identify one another without arousing the suspicion of the authorities. By installing this knocker, you are adding not just a beautiful decoration to your door, but also a piece of fascinating history.
