F02 T17 - "Reborn in Christ"

In the ancient Christian symbolism, fish represents the Christian. This interpretation, according to the Latin Fathers, is due to the fact that "ICHTHYS" is the anagram of Jesus Christ the Son of God the Savior. But on the other hand Pesce generally appears in a baptismal context. In fact, Tertullian says: "We little fishes are born in the water" (Bapt. I, I, 3). and Ambrose: It has been reserved for you that the waters regenerate you with grace, as they have generated others (living beings). to the terrestrial life. Imitate this fish" (Sacram, III, 3)
