A Fish Story


It's fun to explore the variations of designs artists through the years have turned out when they have attempted visualizations of God. Of course, when the concept of the Trinity entered into the picture, the task became three times as challenging. The ichthus (or fish) symbol was probably the earliest graphic reminder for Jesus, so somebody came up with the idea of multiplying it into three and arranging them into the eternal never ending, never beginning circle of God; a very creative attempt at the impossible.
