JESUS-FISH SYMBOL

In early Christianity Jesus was symbolized by the “fish.” As we know, the “cross” which now symbolizes Jesus/Christianity is not original to Christianity but is rooted in paganism.¹

   Like the ‘cross” the “fish” also is rooted in paganism. Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din notes in his revealing book The Sources of Christianity: “The Gospel cannot explain the why and how of the Fish symbol, excepting that Jesus often ate fish. But the sun-scripture is the real explanation. The sun passes the Zodiacal sign Pisces –the Fish– in February, and if the date of the Epiphany is in February, Christ, as a Sun-God, must be symbolized by the Fish.”(p. 51). (See also JESUS-PAGAN PASSION PLAY). Christianity is Paganism veneered with the name of Jesus Christ.

NOTES

1. Khwaja Kamal-ud-Din notes:: “The sign of the Cross also is not of Christian origin. It does not date from the crucifixion;” “the cross in Christendom signifies the same as did the Egyptian cross –the sign of new life brought by the crucifixion. In Ireland a similar cross has been discovered, with a crucified effigy, but it is the effigy of a Persian prince and not that of the Nazarene, as the head of the crucified bears a Parthian coronet, and not the crown of thorns; which identifies it with the Mithraic cult, originally from Persia”–(The Sources of Christianity, p. 50).
