This image shows the Ichthys-a stylized fish formed by two intersecting arcs-rendered in light blue with a bold black outline. Historically used by early Christians as a secret symbol during persecution, it derives from the Greek word “ἰχθύς” (ichthys), an acronym for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Today, it remains widely recognized on vehicles, jewelry, and religious materials.
