Why is the Christian symbol a fish?
During the time of early Christian persecution, it wasn’t wise to advertise or demonstrate your faith. It was a hidden symbol used much like a secret hand shake. The Disciples of Jesus were fishermen. Jesus said “Come with me, and I’ll make you fishers OF men.” So, the fish is sacred. When two people would meet for the first time, in order to know who you could trust, one person would shyly make a half circle image in the sand with their feet. If the other person was Christian, they would complete the symbol of the fish with their feet. That way, people could know whom they could trust and befriend without having to risk death. and you people don’t think i know anything…
