Ichthys Symbol - Meaning and History of the Christian Fish Sign #3048871 (License: Personal Use)

This image shows the ichthys, a simple yet profound Christian symbol shaped like a fish, rendered in solid blue against a clean white background. Its form derives from the Greek word ΙΧΘΥΣ (ichthys), an acrostic for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior). Historically used by early Christians as a secret identifier during persecution, it remains widely recognized today.
