Ichthys Symbol - The Jesus Fish in Christian History and Meaning #120286 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white illustration depicts the Ichthys symbol-a fish formed by intersecting arcs, with the Greek letters ΙΧΘΥΣ (Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter) inscribed below. Historically used by early Christians as a covert identifier during persecution, it served both as a theological statement and a sign of community. The design reflects simplicity, faith, and symbolic depth rooted in New Testament tradition.

Used on religious education pages, church websites, historical theology articles, and Christian symbolism resources; matches user intent to learn about early Christian iconography, apologetics, or biblical symbols.
