Ichthys Symbol - The Ancient Christian Fish Sign #2365587 (License: Personal Use)

This minimalist black-line illustration depicts the ichthys, or Jesus fish, formed by two intersecting arcs creating a stylized fish shape. Historically used by early Christians as a secret identifier during persecution, the Greek word ΙΧΘΥΣ serves as an acrostic for “Iēsous Christos Theou Yios Sōtēr” (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior). Its enduring simplicity makes it a powerful visual shorthand for Christian identity across cultures and eras.
