Fish Symbol or ICHTHUS. After Jesus' death, the early Christians were perse-
cuted heavily and had to have security measures when meeting strangers and a
means of recognition. So it is said, that one of them would draw in the ground an
arc, and if the other was also a Christian, they would know to enclose it by
drawing another arc, making the sign of a fish. "Why a fish?". The Fish was sym-
bolic of Jesus and their faith in Him as the Son of God.
