ICQUS is an acronym for IESUS KRISTOS THEOU hUIOS SWTER, or,
Jesus Christ Son of God Saviour. The acronym also spells the Greek
word for "fish." The fish, obviously, was an early symbol of the
secretive Christian communities who hid in fear of Jews and Romans.
If secret Christians saw the fish symbol on a doorway, they knew
Christians lived there, and it was what spooks today would call a
"safe house."
