1. What language is it?
It is Greek
2. What does it say?
Ichthus (ikh-thoos) or ichthys is the Greek word simply meaning “fishâ€
The Greek spelling for ichthus is Iota, Chi, Theta, Upsilon, and Sigma. The English translation is IXOYE. The five Greek letters stand for the words meaning, “Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior.â€
3. Why was it used?
It was used by Christians in the early church to know someone was a believer. There was alot of persicution from Rome up until Constantine, so it was there sort of "sign" to flash one another. Someone would draw the upper half of the fish in the dirt and if another Christian saw it they would draw the bottom half making a fish.
I made this a question cause I knew most people would have to dig to get the answer.....it required work. And usually when you have to work for something, you tend to remember it more. So since this contest is about people getting to know me, I had to put this in. I am a Christian, and that is how people see me in the real world and how I want to be seen. So I figured that I should be seen that way on here too.
Here is a decent website to read a better history on the Ichthus
I awarded the surprise bonus points to koppenschevelle and Omega each. Eric was the first and only person to describe the Ichthus as an acronym, and Mark was the only person to describe drawing the fish and why early Christians did that.
So after that, here are the new scores:
So here are the current scores:
tonganbynature-8
roland13-9
WhiteLeo-12
koppenschevelle-13
grimerslimer-5
scrappy-8
Omega-14
Ghost Lion-9
lazzy lizard-9
Tom-K-6
