Ichthys (more commonly spelt Ichthus, or sometimes Ikhthus, from Greek: ἰχθύς, capitalized ΙΧΘΥΣ or ΙΧΘΥC) is the ancient and classical Greek word for "fish". In English it refers to 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, used by Early Christians as a secret symbol^[1] and now known colloquially as the "sign of the fish" or the "Jesus fish."^[2]

THOUGH I SPEAK WITH THE TONGUES OF MEN AND OF ANGELS, AND HAVE NOT CHARITY, I AM BECOME AS SOUNDING BRASS, OR A TINKLING CYMBAL.

IF I HAD ALL THE GIFTS ENTRUSTED TO ME BY GOD AND HAD NO COMPASSION AND NO MERCY AND KNEW NO REPENTANCE AND FORGIVENESS AND NO TRUE LOVE, I WOULD HAVE NO LIFE, I WOULD KNOW ONLY DEATH.

God bless you!
