The Lie algebra L(h) of symmetries of a discrete analogue of the non-linear Schrödinger equation (NLS) is studied. A five-dimensional subspace of L(h), generated by both point and generalized symmetries, transforms into the five-dimensional point symmtry algebra L(0) of the NLS equation. We use the lowest symmetries to do symmetry reduction of the equation, thus obtaining explicit solutions and discrete analogues of elliptic functions.
