What is an Ichthus necklace?

The Ichthus, or Jesus fish, is one of the oldest Christian symbols. The Greek word ΙΧΘΥΣ (fish) was read as "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Saviour", and early Christians used the fish as a quiet sign of faith.

Fish pendant or fish cross

Choose a simple fish pendant, like the olive wood Ichthus fish or the Jesus fish in two sizes, or a cross with the fish, like the Ichthus cross.

Olive wood or silver

The olive wood pieces are hand-carved in the Holy Land. For a metal pendant, see the 925 sterling silver Ichthus necklace.
