In a previous post, I talked about my pleasure in finding a Bible verse on the packaging for Edwards Frozen Pies. I checked my mail today and had a letter from them. I would like to share with you a bit of it, in case you are as curious as I was:
We are also pleased that you were uplifted by the messages printed on our cartons and embossed in our “Personality Pan.” We utilize a series of Bible verses and other inspirational statements that are rotated from time to time. The Edwards family began adding the quotations when they established the bakery as a means to give their valued customers something extra. We are sending you one of our “Fish Cards.”
The enclosed card reads as follows:
The fish symbol originated with the first century Christians who used it as a means to communicate their allegiance to Jesus Christ. The Ichthus held dual significance: the Greek word for fish formed the initials for Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour; secondly, it symbolized their commitment as fishers of men’s souls. Edwards Fine Foods, Inc. has adopted the fish mark to symbolize Christian attitudes and principles in all aspects of the company’s operation.
My prior recommendation still stands: find and try an Edwards frozen pie! While you’re at it, you might also drop them a note of appreciation.
