Description: Matthew 4 :18 as Jesus was walking by the Sea of Galilee he saw two brothers, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother casting a net into the sea; for they were fishermen.

4 : 19. and he saith unto them, "Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."

4 : 20. And they straight-away left their nets and followed him.

The star at the top refers to  Christ saying, "I am the Bright and Morning Star." Hence although the figure of Christ is not represented pictorially, his presence is symbolised by the star.
