The fish or "Ikthyus" is Greek, is a very ancient symbol. In addition to the obvious parallels with Jesus commissioning the disciples as "fishers of men," there was another reason for using the fish. The phrase - Jesus Christ God('s) Son Savior is in Greek Ίησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ ΊΧΘΥΣ (the first letter of each word, pronounced 'Ikthyus') also means fish. |
