A couple symbols that come to mind are the cross and the fish.
The cross is a reminder of his crusifiction, dying on the cross for us, and his life.
The fish was created so that Christians could communicate with each other without being arrested by the Roman Empire. At the time, christians would draw the symbol with a piece of chalk, and being just two lines, it was a very quick, easy, and unconspicuous way to identify each other.
The first symbol was the cross. There was no such thing as Christianity before Jesus went to calvary. To be a christian you must confess with your mouth and believe in your heart that Jesus was raised from the dead (Romans 10:9). So after he went on the CROSS and rose from the dead there was Christianity.
Jesus Himself proclaimed in John 14:6, "I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Jesus is our Savior, and he paid the price for the sins of humanity on the cross. This is why the cross is the earliest symbol.
the cross, the chalice, the fish, the halo, the crown of thorns, the sacred heart, stained glass windows...
The olive branch.

Usually the dove is the symbol of peace
The White Dove is The christian bird Representing God or peace.
A Hawk - as opposed to a Dove, representing peace.
No. It is based on the semaphore letters for N and D, for Nuclear Disarmament. Only fearmongerers think it's an anti-Christian symbol. ******************************************************************* uhmm.. that's not completely true. someone had "created" the peace sign by combining the N and D but the peace sign was used before the person "created" it. the peace sign was used as "an anti-Christian symbol by the Saracens as early as 711 A.D." here's the link to where I learned this and where you can get more info: http://www.teachpeace.com/peacesymbolhistory.htm
Christian's
actually, you could say that because the native Americans used the symbol in weaved rugs and sand painting's. they it is a symbol of freedom. yet to many who don't know that it can be mistaken for a Nazi symbol which you can tell that that's not a symbol of peace Sort of its traditionally a Indian symbol representing peace however the Nazi version is tilted 45 degrees so half and half realy
The dove is a commonly used peace symbol that dates back to early christian times. Early christians used the dove (typically with an olive branch in its beak) as a symbol of peace and a reference to the dove that Noah released from the Ark during the story of the Great Flood.
She had a tattoo on her lower back of a tribal symbol representing peace and love in the universe, but she had it removed a few years ago.
the symbol of peace is the doves
The dove is recognized as "peace" in most western countries. The dove is an ancient symbol of peace. It is pictured as a white dove, rather than the gray multi-colored wood dove commonly called a pigeon.
The eagle holds an olive branch because it sybolizes peace.
In Greek mythology the goddess Aphrodite is often associated with the sea, doves, swans, and pearls. But on the other hand, in Roman mythology, Aphrodite was named Venus, and her symbol was the pentacle.
