Ichthys Symbol - Meaning and History of the Christian Fish Sign #1371680 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-and-white illustration depicts the ichthys, an early Christian symbol shaped like a fish, created by two intersecting arcs. The Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys) serves as an acrostic for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Historically used as a covert identifier among persecuted believers, it remains a widely recognized emblem of Christian faith today.
