Die eucharistischen Fische sind ein verbreitetes Bildmotiv der frühchristlichen Kunst und als Wandmalereien anzutreffen.Das (I·Ch·Th·Y·S-)Symbol besteht aus zwei gekrümmten Linien, die einen Fisch darstellen.

 

The ichthys or ichthus is a symbol consisting of two intersecting arcs, the ends of the right side extending beyond the meeting point so as to resemble the profile of a fish. The symbol was adopted by early Christians as a secret symbol. It is now known colloquially as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish".
