Ichthys Symbol - The Christian Fish Sign Meaning and History #3740635 (License: Personal Use)

The Ichthys symbol, derived from the Greek word for fish (ἰχθύς), served as a secret identifier among early Christians during periods of persecution; its letters form an acrostic for “Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior.” Visually, it consists of two intersecting arcs forming a stylized fish, often with a cross-like tail, rendered here in bold black against a clean white background.
