This image shows a stylized yellow ichthys (Greek: ἰχθύς), the iconic fish symbol adopted by early Christians as a secret identifier during persecution. The word forms an acrostic for “Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ” (Iēsous Christos, Theou Yios, Sōtēr)-“Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior.” Its simple yet profound design remains widely used today on vehicles, jewelry, and church signage.
