This black-and-white graphic depicts the Ichthys, an ancient Christian symbol shaped like a fish, where the Greek letters ΙΧΘΥΣ (Ichthys) form the word “JESUS” in English. Historically used by persecuted believers to identify one another discreetly, the acronym stands for “Iēsous Christos Theou Yios Sōtēr” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Its bold, hand-drawn style evokes grassroots evangelism and enduring spiritual identity.
