What is the origin of the Christian fish symbol?
The Greek word for fish is "ichthys." As
early as the first century, Christians made an acrostic from this word:
Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter, i.e. Jesus Christ, Son of God,
Savior. The fish has plenty of other theological overtones as well, for
Christ fed the 5,000 with 2 fishes and 5 loaves (a meal recapitulated
in Christian love-feasts) and called his disciples "fishers of men."
Water baptism, practiced by immersion in the early church, created a
parallel between fish and converts. Second-century theologian
Tertullian put it this way: "we, little fishes, after the image of our
Ichthys, Jesus Christ, are born in the water."
Greeks, Romans, and many other pagans used the fish symbol before
Christians. Hence the fish, unlike, say, the cross, attracted little
suspicion, making it a perfect secret symbol for persecuted believers.
When threatened by Romans in the first centuries after Christ,
Christians used the fish mark meeting places and tombs, or to
distinguish friends from foes. According to one ancient story, when a
Christian met a stranger in the road, the Christian sometimes drew one
arc of the simple fish outline in the dirt. If the stranger drew the
other arc, both believers knew they were in good company. Current
bumper-sticker and business-card uses of the fish hearken back to this
practice.
