The Origins of the Jesus Fish

The video explores the history and significance of the fish symbol in Christianity, known as the ichthus. It debunks the modern legend of the fish as a secret code during Roman persecution, citing a lack of historical evidence. Instead, it highlights archaeological and textual evidence from the 2nd century CE, linking the symbol to Jesus Christ. The ichthus acrostic, derived from Greek, stands for 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.' The video also discusses various interpretations and theories about the symbol's origin, ultimately concluding that its connection to persecution is speculative.
