Emoji Translation of the Bible

Believe it or not, in 2016, the Bible was translated into emojis to help younger readers understand it. “Bible Emoji: Scripture 4 Millennials” is an app that features all 66 books of the King James Bible translated into emojis. “God” is replaced with 😇 (smiling face with halo), “light” is replaced with 💡 (lightbulb), and those are only a couple of examples. The app gained traction on social media, with users praising and criticizing it. But, at the end of the day, most Christians can agree that it doesn’t matter how the Bible is being read, as long as it’s being read!^{[1]

Common Symbols Associated With Christianity

Catholic priest Fr. Scott Bailey says, “There are symbols common to most Christians such as a plain cross ✝️ (Jesus' death and resurrection), an empty tomb (Jesus' death and resurrection), a dove 🕊️ (Holy Spirit), a flame 🔥 (Holy Spirit), and a shell 🐚 (baptism). Some symbols may be more frequently seen in Catholic churches, such as:
- Crucifix: For Catholics, the cross of Jesus is often displayed with the body of Jesus (Latin: Corpus) on it. While a plain cross ✝️ is sometimes used in certain settings, especially in personal use, Catholics usually use a crucifix (which has the Corpus) as a reminder of the sacrifice that Jesus made for the salvation of humanity.
- Lamb 🐑, often with a cut in its side: Christians see Jesus as the fulfillment of the Passover Lamb, sacrificed for the salvation of others. The cut in the side of the lamb is a reminder of the pierced side of Jesus on the cross.
- Chalice 🏆, communion host/wafer, grapes 🍇, wheat ears: These are all symbols used in art which point to the Eucharist and Last Supper.
- Halo 😇: In artwork, halos are often shown above or behind the head of Jesus or a saint. They are a sign of holiness.
- Rosary 📿: This is a strand of beads used for prayer, especially related to asking for the intercession of Mary the mother of Jesus. For that reason, it is a symbolic reminder of Mary.
- Angel 😇, lion 🦁, ox 🐂, and eagle 🦅: These four symbols represent the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. An easy acronym to remember which symbol goes with each gospel is the word ALOE. Apply the letters alongside each of the gospels following their order in the New Testament: Angel (Matthew), Lion (Mark), Ox (Luke), and Eagle (John).”^{[4]
