Etymology

IXTHIS is the Ancient Greek word for fish and was the image used to identify Christianity during the early years. If you were to use the letters of the Greek alphabet, each letter in the word 'Ixthis' represents:

I - (Isous) - Jesus, X - (Christos) - Christ; TH - (Theos) - God; I - (Ios) - Son; S - (Sotir) - Saviour
Jesus Christ Son of God our Saviour.
