The Origins of the Christian "Fish" Symbol
See Flash Presentation at the Bottom of the Page
It is a simple circle with four intersecting lines which in basic terms, looks like a wagon wheel or an 8-spoked wheel. Early followers of Jesus had to have had a way to communicate and graffiti (interesting related article - The Earliest Christian Graffito?) was common in that day and age; here we see the secretive sign (symbolic acronym) used for Jesus Christ; which today is not only the origins of the modern Christian fish symbol, but we see how this circle symbol is perhaps used all around us in many ways; from St. Peter's Square at the Vatican, to the Dharma wheel of Buddha to church windows and even the e8 image or theory of everything...
