Ichthys Symbol - Meaning and History of the Christian Fish Sign #171089 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist line-art depiction shows the Ichthys-a stylized fish formed by two intersecting arcs, often incorporating a cross in the tail. Historically used by early Christians as a secret identifier, the symbol derives from the Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys), an acronym for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Its clean, modern rendering makes it suitable for digital and print media alike.

Commonly used on religious websites, church materials, merchandise, and social media to signify Christian identity; matches user intent for learning about religious symbols, theological education, or designing faith-based content.
