The Fish an ancient Christian symbol
"I love this piece! It's a reminder of Roman times and what Christians did to protect each other and to identify other Christians in a non verbal way while keeping themselves, their families and friends safe. . If two people were talking one would use a stick to make a semicircle on the ground. If the other one was a Christian they would complete the semicircle making a primitive fish 🐟 sign. That would be the signal that they both were Christians. If the second person didn't finish the symbol the Christian would know they were talking to a non- Christian. So the fish symbol was created to keep the anonymity of fellow Christians and to protect them by a way of identifying each other in a nonverbal secret way. 🐟."
