Fish

 

* The fish was a symbol of the Lord Jesus Christ and Christians.

* The Greek letters "ل¼°د‡خ¸دچد‚" (capitalized: خ™خ§خکخ¥خ£) of the word "fish" correspond to the initials of the words: "Jesus Christ the Son of God, our Saviour", i.e.: "خٹخ·دƒخ؟ل؟¦د‚ خ§دپخ¹دƒد„دŒد‚, خکخµخ؟ل؟¦ خ¥ل¼±دŒد‚, خ£د‰د„خ®دپ".

* A secret sign used by the early persecuted Christians to designate themselves as believers in Jesus Christ.
