The symbolism for Faith is represented by the cross.  The symbol for Hope is represented by the anchor.  And lastly, the symbol for Charity is the flaming heart.

The origin of Faith, Hope and Charity comes from, 1 Corinthians 13.  "And now these three remain:  faith, hope and love.  But the greatest of these is love."  (Thank you Artofmourning.com for symbolism)
