Ichthys Symbol - Meaning and History of the Jesus Fish #1372561 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows the ichthys, an ancient Christian symbol formed by two intersecting arcs resembling a fish. Historically used by early Christians as a covert identifier during periods of persecution, the Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys) serves as an acrostic for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Its minimalist yellow outline conveys enduring spiritual meaning across centuries.
