Ichthys Symbol - Meaning and History of the Christian Fish Sign #1515427 (License: Personal Use)

The Ichthys symbol, derived from the Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys), meaning “fish,” was adopted by early Christians as a secret identifier during periods of persecution; the letters also form an acrostic for “Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior.” Its minimalist design-two intersecting arcs with a stylized tail resembling a cross-conveys deep theological meaning through simple geometry.

This image is commonly used on religious websites, church materials, educational content about Christian symbolism, and interfaith resources; it serves users seeking historical, theological, or cultural understanding of Christian iconography.
