I know that is greek, but I am a little rusty with it and my dad isn't home to ask. What does is say?

Left side is Aletheia which literally means 'truth'

From wiki:

The word Aletheia literally means "Truth" in Greek, and is spelled ἀλήθεια.

It has been used as a name, the personification of Truth, by, among other Greek philosophers, Parmenides.

Aletheia was known to the Romans as Veritas.

Right side is Agapē

From wiki:

Agapē (ἀγάπη agápē) means "love" in modern day Greek. The term s'agapo means "I love you" in Greek. The word "agapo" is the verb "I love". In Ancient Greek it often refers to a general affection rather than the attraction suggested by "eros"; agape is used in ancient texts to denote feelings for a good meal, one's children, and the feelings for a spouse. It can be described as the feeling of being content or holding one in high regard. The verb appears in the New Testament describing, amongst other things, the relationship between Jesus and the beloved disciple. In biblical literature, its meaning and usage is illustrated by self-sacrificing, giving love to all--both friend and enemy. It is used in Matthew 22:39, "Love your neighbour as yourself," and in John 15:12, "This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you," and in 1 John 4:8, "God is love." However, the word "agape" is not always used in the New Testament in a positive sense. II Timothy 4:10 uses the word in a negative sense. The Apostle Paul writes,"For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved (agapo) this present world...." Thus the word "agape" is not always used of a divine love or the love of God. Christian commentators have expanded the original Greek definition to encompass a total commitment or self-sacrificial love for the thing loved. Because of its frequency of use in the New Testament, Christian writers have developed a significant amount of theology based solely on the interpretation of this word.

The symbol in the middle is a chi-ro/labarum which can be read about here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Labarum

But the general summary is this:

The labarum was a military standard which displayed the first two Greek letters of the word Christ ( Greek: ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ or Χριστός )—Chi (χ) and Rho, (ρ).[1] It was first used by the Roman emperor Constantine I (Greek: Μέγας Κωνσταντίνος ).

Mythology characteristically differs in the details, but in every case, the details are meaningful never random. According to Lactantius,[3] a historian of North African origin saved from poverty and under the patronage of Constantine Ι as tutor to his son Crispus, who was writing in Latin, Constantine had dreamt of this emblem and a voice saying "In hoc signo vinces" ("In this sign you shall conquer"). On waking he ordered his soldiers to put the emblem on their shields; that very day they fought the forces of Maxentius and won the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312), outside Rome.

That being the case, get a pair of these. They sell them at Wal-Mart, they're pretty realistic looking.

I'm totally buying a set of these for my next interview.

I'll let you know, I need to get some money together for it first and decide where I want it

I could have sworn that Constantine had a them write, Chi Rho Iota as the symbol of Christ's protection...

I could be wrong, but double check and then triple check before you go ahead and get it done

Sweet design...you do get what you paid for, but for something as simple as words and a symbol I don't think they can screw it up...too bad :)

Post a pic when you get it
