"Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior."<br />

Fish was the Christian Symbol from early Christian church period. During the early centuries when<br />

the Christians were under persecutions, they used the symbol as a secret code of recognizing each<br />

other.<br />

When a Christian met a stranger in the road, one drew one arc of the simple fish outline in the dirt.<br />

If the other party drew the other arc to complete the fish, they recognized each other.<br />

Later they added a cross in place of the eye.<br />

Later it became the standard symbol of Christianity<br />

Evidently fish had iconic connection with the life and ministry of the Apostles who were fishermen and<br />

were called to be Fisher’s of Men.<br />
