The fish as a Christian symbol was made of high quality 925 sterling silver and bears the name Jesus. Ichtys means fish in Greek. When Christians were persecuted by the Roman state almost 2,000 years ago, the fish was a secret sign that Christians used to identify each other. The individual letters of the word “ICHTYS” represent an abbreviation for a creed of early Christians. The first letters of ICHTYS are the first letters of the words: Iesous Christos Theou Yios Soter (“Jesus, Christ, God's Son, Savior”).
