Originally, it was vertical, like:

It was a symbol drawn in the sand/dirt in non-Christian times by those illegal Christians as a way to identify each other's religion without being fed to the lions. The two vertical arcs indicate a woman's anus and vagina as a referance to fertility, fertility of the faith, the fertile faith, or something like that. That is how early Christians told each other they were, one would start the arc, the other would finish the other side if they were too. This shape was chosen because it was simple and to a passing Roman/other enemy law official would be nothing particularly special.
Quite how it was bastardised into the horizontal <>< fish is beyond me, but, hey, it's a 2000 year old religion, impossible to stay uncorrupted that long.

Cheap-shit clothes shop in Britain. I bought two shirts, some socks, and some boxers all for £20. The people in there all seemed to be named after places like Savannah and Michigan.

1. Order of herbacious sea mammals. Includes the Dugong and the manatee. These creatures eat almost exclusively sea grasses and they never leave the water.
2. Rather good Norwegian gothic metal band. They take many different sound textures and blend them all into a truly grand overall package. Includes clean male vocals, female vocals and also death vocals. Various music styles are employed too, from basic rock to black metal and even some classical in the form of violin passages. Melodic instrumental interludes and keyboards also feature heavily.
3. In Greek mythology, the Sirens were sea nymphs who sung beautifully to sailors and lured them to sail off the cliffs and drown.

1. Oh dear oh dear, we have a manatee maimed by a boat propeller. Send for the vet specialising in sirenia.
2. I listened to Sirenia and I enjoyed it.
3. Hmm... Sakis and his crew haven't been seen for months... Maybe they encountered some Sirens.
