Fishing a prayer for fishermen poster

The phrase "sailing the Seven Seas" has different meanings for different people at different times in history. The word "Seven Seas" is mentioned by Hindus, Chinese, Persians, Romans and other cultures. The historical name refers to waters on the trade route and local waters; although in some cases the sea name is mythical, not real water.
The word "Seven Seas" ("Seven Seas") has evolved into a metaphorical name to describe a sailor who has traveled the seas and oceans of the world, not literally the number seven.
The number seven has many historical, cultural and spiritual meanings: the lucky seven, seven hills of Rome, seven days of the week, seven wonders of the world, seven elves, seven creation days, seven acupuncture points (yoga), seven sinners and seven virtues - and many others.
The name "Seven Sea" comes from the ancient Sumerian origin in 2300 BC, where it was used by the priestess Enheduanna in the hymn to sing about Inanna, the goddess of sexual love, reproduction and war.
