As a result, certain symbols were used among the early Christians for identification among each other. The symbol of the fish was in common use for this purpose as the Greek word for fish, ICHTHUS, could be a secret sign for Iesous Christos Theou Uios Soter (Jesus Christ, God’s Son, Savior).

The symbol of the cross also has an early provenance, as its symbol is permanently preserved in a small room in Herculaneum, Italy, from the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 C.E.

As a letter from an early Christian expresses: “For Christians are not differentiated from other people by country, language or customs; you see, they do not live in cities of their own, or have some peculiar lifestyle… They follow local customs in clothing, food and the other aspects of life…They marry and have children just like every one else; but they do not kill unwanted babies.
