WHAT’S IN THE NAME IKTHUS?

It is a Greek word ίχόυς (IKTHUS) which means “JESUS CHRIST, GOD’S SON, OUR SAVIOR.”

It was used by followers of Jesus during the early Christian persecution period wherein they made half of the fish symbol on the ground by the use of their feet, hand or staff before talking to somebody about Jesus. When that person responded by completing the other half of the fish sign, it meant he was also a Christian and it was safe to share his faith.
