Ichthys

The "Jesus fish" symbol is an ichthys, a Greek acronym for "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior" (ΙΧΘΥΣ). It originated in the first century as a secret symbol for persecuted Christians to identify one another, with the fish itself being referenced in biblical stories like the feeding of the 5,000 and Jesus calling his disciples "fishers of men".

The Vision

The Story of the Art

The Code: The fish isn't just a shape; it's an acronym. The Greek word Ichthys stands for Iēsous Christos Theou Yios Sōtēr (Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior).
The Secret Handshake: During the Roman persecution, this was the underground sign of the Church. One believer would draw half the arch in the dirt; if the other completed it, they were family.
The "Sand Sketch" Style: The embroidery on this cap is designed with rough, sketched lines to mimic the look of a finger drawing in the dust. It is a tribute to the risk early believers took to identify with Jesus.
The Invitation: Wearing this is the modern version of drawing the line in the sand. It is a silent, open declaration of allegiance to the Savior.
