This Christian IXOYE Fish T-Shirt features the Christian fish and the words 'Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior' (The translation of the Greek acronym ΙΧΘΥΣ),
Here's a breakdown of the acronym:
I - Ἰησοῦς (Iesous) - Jesus
X - Χριστóς (Christos) - Christ
Θ - Θεοῦ (Theou) - God
Υ - Υἱός (Yios) - Son
Σ - Σωτήρ (Soter) - Savior
IXOYE and the circle
The letters IXOYE also spell the Greek word for "fish." Early Christians used the fish as a secret symbol to identify themselves during persecution. The Christian Wheel in Ephesus, a large circle carved into a marble paving stone, may have been a precursor to the fish symbol. The wheel has the letters IXOYE arranged to resemble an eight-spoked wheel.
Early Christians may have used this eight-spoked circle to communicate and identify believers secretly.
