Original Message
Fish in Greek is IXTHYS (ichtùs).
Placed vertically, the letters of this word form an acrostic: Iesùs Christòs Theòu Uiòs Sotèr = Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour.
Acrostic is Greek word which means the first letter of every line or paragraph.
The fish is a widespread symbol of Christ, a motto and a compendium of the Christian faith.
