Fish Christianity symbolism: The fish is a significant symbol for the Christians since it symbolizes Jesus Christ. The fish sign is a very old one, known as ichthys, an indication of the fish or Jesus fish. The Christians adopted it as a secret symbol; ichthys means Iesous Christos Theou Yeos Soter (Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour). Because the sign of the fish is older than Christianity and was used by Greeks and Romans as well, the early Jesus’ followers believed it would not raise suspicions. So the ichthus fish marked the Christian gathering places and tombs . Jesus’ fish meaning is also related to the Holy Eucharist and its particular significance for Christians. Ichthus fish’s meaning is also revealed in the bible. We all know how Jesus multiplied the loaves and fish. In this case, the symbol of fish is related to faith, abundance, and, most important, charity. To understand the spiritual meaning of fish in the bible, we must be mindful of the Gospels. Jesus referred to His disciples as “fishers of men.” In this case, the biblical meaning of fish is that man finds himself into an abyss of sin and needs redemption. All things considered, the catholic fish is a symbol of the Christian religion.
