The fish symbol has been connected to the idea of baptism, fishing for men, and the parable of the net. The New Testament was originally written in Greek, and it has also been suggested that the fish symbol was connected to the use of the Greek word for fish (ichthus) as an acrostic for a profession of faith (the Greek words for "Jesus - Christ - Son of - God - Savior" begin with the Greek letters I CH TH U S). The use of the fish graffiti is thought to have begun in the second century.
