Its an electronic symbol of the Ischtus (I think?) Fish, Christians put them

Right as far as it goes, but the reason WHY is that Jesus is often
referred to as the fisher of men's souls, and he instructed his apostles
to continue his work. (0)

Plus, IXOYE (or I<CH><TH>US) is Greek for fish, right?
