The fish symbol is nearly as old as the church itself. There is evidence that people in the early church used the fish symbol to identify themselves as Christians. In some accounts, a person would draw half of the fish in the sand. If another person completed the drawing, it showed that they were also a Christian.
The fish was a symbol for Christ because the initial letters of Greek word icthus (“fish“) form an acrostic interpreted as “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.”He set out on foot in parking lots in several states, looking for the symbols.
