Ichthys Symbol - The Ancient Christian Fish Sign | Religious Iconography #3552219 (License: Personal Use)

This black silhouette depicts the Ichthys, an ancient Christian symbol shaped like a fish, derived from the Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys), an acronym for “Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior.” The inclusion of a cross inside the eye is a modern stylistic variation emphasizing Christ’s sacrifice. Historically used as a clandestine identifier during Roman persecution, it remains a widely recognized emblem of Christian identity today.
