The anchor was used as a symbol of safety in ancient times because of its importance in navigation. Early Christians chose to use the anchor as a symbol of hope and of Eternal Life, since Jesus Christ is the unfailing hope of all who believe in Him. This ancient Christian symbol was widely found in the catacombs and ancient Christian cemetaries.
