Answer 1

~~~ alvarez,,,, Without an Understanding of Zodiacal Symbolism you will Never find your answer. This is evident from The Sacrificial Bull Rite, represented in the present day "bullfight" and since the Constellation Tauras eventually waned then the Hindus considered The Sacred Cows to be Anscestral Reincarnates. You will next find on the Zodiac Wheel the Pisces Symbol from which early christianity naturally incorporated into their Motif, among Zoroastrianism and Mithraism, as well as Isis/Osiris of Ancient Egypt. Later in history, the Corrupt Clergy anathemized Astrology to better control The Masses(of people) of the Freewill. According to my pre-internet sources I was informed that in the Ancient Greek Language that the word "jesus" translates to "fish". It's extremely refreshing to see someone on this site who at least has an awareness of Sacred Geometry. This is a vast wasteland of Ignorance and Superstition. If you look at the Doctrines of Christianity,,, and their terminology,,,, within the Context of Astrology and Reincarnation,,,you will 'see' a completely different meaning to "Born Again", "Enlightened", "The God (Power) Within", "Houses", "Passover", "Star of Bethlehem", "The Magi", "Lucifer-The Morning Star of Venus", etc, etc, etc, ~~~ Are you familiar with the Dodecahedron Theory of Life which is an Advanced Theory on The Star of David, so to speak?

This symbol, called the vesica pisces (piscis) or "Jesus fish," has an unusual history. Used almost exclusively today to denote membership in the Christian religion, the symbol once held a very different meaning (even to the early Christians who adopted it). The words usually found inscribed within, ΙΧΘΥΣ (Ichthus), is Greek, meaning fish. The emblem became significant to Christians after St. Augustine, who extracted the word from the acrostic prophecy* of the Erythraean Sibyl, and applied the kabbalistic technique of notarikon to the word to reveal "Jesus Christ, God's son, savior." The custom of early Christians to communicate by drawing a portion in the dust was carried over from the practice of the ancient Pythagoreans, who discovered the shape's unique properties and made it an important part of their teachings.

In Pagan times, this glyph was associated with the Goddess Venus, and represented female genitalia. Early depictions of Christ depict him as an infant within the vesica (usually called a mandorla, meaning 'almond shaped.'), which represented the womb of Mary (and often, the coming together of heaven and earth in the body of jesus- part man, part god). As such, it is also a doorway or portal between worlds, and symbolizes the intersection between the heaven and the material plane. The shape of arches in gothic architecture is based on the vesica.

The shape of the vesica pisces is derived from the intersection of two circles, the Pythagorean "measure of the fish" that was a mystical symbol of the intersection of the world of the divine with the world of matter and the beginning of creation. To the Pythagoreans, the whole of creation was based on number, and by studying the properties of number, they believed one could achieve spiritual liberation. The vesica pisces was the symbol of the first manifestation, the dyad (reflection) that gives birth to the entire manifest universe. Within the vesica can be found the triangle, the tetrad, the square, the pentacle, and many more polygons, making the vesica a true symbolic womb.

Curiously, the New Testament story of the loaves and fishes secretly reveals the geometric formula for the fish shaped device, as does the story of the miraculous catch: "Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken. (John 21:11) " This is little remarked upon by Bible scholars and usually ignored by Christian bible interpreters.

Answer 4

Christianity was persecuted from the time Jesus died, until Constantine made it legal in 350.

It is said that the "Jesus fish" was a way Christians found one another.

Someone would sit and draw an arch in the sand or dirt. Another Christian would come along and draw in the other half.

That's how communities found one another.
