'''Ichthus''' is a [[Greek]] word (ΙΧΘΥΣ) that was used in ancient times to represent [[Christianity]] when it was illegal to be a Christian. It is an acronym that stands for "Jesus Christ, Son Of God, Saviour" (Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ). Since "ichthus" is the Greek word for fish, the fish became a symbol for [[Christ]], much like the cross, as seen on the popular fish magnets on cars. The [[Ichthus Festival]] is a Christian [[rock music]] festival that takes its name from the anagram.
