The Ichthys symbol (ΙΧΘΥΣ, the Greek word for "fish") is an ancient Christian emblem that stands for "Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior" in Greek. This symbol, often depicted as a simple fish, has long been used by Christians to declare their faith and connection to Christianity. The Ichthys not only represents a profession of belief but also serves as a discreet way for early Christians to identify one another during times of persecution. Over time, it has become a widely recognized symbol of Christian identity and devotion.
