The Savior's Anchor Symbol

       As the Greek word for a fish, ΙΧΘΥΣ, contained the initials of the name and titles of Christ, "Ἰησοῦς Χριστός, Θεοῦ Υἱός, Σωτήρ", Jesus Christ the Son of God, the Savior, the figure of a fish was one of the earliest Christian symbols.

The disciples woke him up, shouting, "Teacher, don't you care that we're going to drown?" When Jesus woke up, he rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Silence! Be still!" Suddenly the wind stopped, and there was a great calm. Then he asked them, "Why are you afraid? Do you still have no faith?" The disciples were absolutely terrified.
