Feria.--A term derived from the Latin and used to designate days which are neither Feasts nor Fasts. {111} Filioque.--The Latin for the words "and the Son" which occur in our form of the Nicene Creed. They are not found in the original Creed as used in the Greek Church, but were added by the Third Council of Toledo, A.D. 589. This addition to the Creed by the Western Church was the subject of a long controversy between the East and the West, which with other complications finally led to their entire separation in A.D. 1054. (See PROCESSION OF THE HOLY GHOST.) Fish.--The figure of a fish has been used from the very earliest days as a symbol in the Christian Church. Among the early Christians it was used as a secret sign by which they knew one another in the days of persecution. The significance of the fish as a Christian symbol is set forth under EMBLEMS (which see). Flagon.--One of the Eucharistic vessels. A large pitcher-shaped vessel made of precious metal and used to hold the wine before its consecration in the chalice. It is sometimes used in the consecration.
