@editzby.nina1: The Greek word for fish is Ichthys (or Ikhthus / ΙΧΘΥΣ). Early Christians used it as an acronym, where each letter stood for a specific Greek word declaring their core theology. During the early days of the church, Christians faced intense persecution in the Roman Empire. The fish was used as a secret sign to safely identify other believers. A Christian might draw one half of the crescent curve in the dirt; if a stranger drew the intersecting curve, they knew they were among friends. #yahweh #christian #christianity #fyp #Ichthus
