The ΙΧΘΥΣ, or Ichthys, is a Christian symbol that looks like a fish. Fish are mentioned many times in The Bible; Jesus chose several fisherman to be his disciples. There are many theories as to why the fish was chosen as a symbol.
ΙΧΘΥΣ stands for "Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ" ("Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior").
