Fish (Ichthys)

Fish, or Ichthys, is a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs that resemble a stylized fish. Historically, it was used by early Christians as a secret sign to identify themselves and their beliefs. The Greek word "Ichthys" (ΙΧΘΥΣ) translates to "fish" and is an acronym for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior." The symbol represents faith, baptism, and the idea of being followers of Christ. Its simple design conveys spiritual meaning while also serving as a discreet marker of Christian identity, especially in times of persecution.
