Discussion #1:

Symbolism and Early Christian Art

Early Christian symbols, used to covertly identify and communicate with other converts, continued to be used in the visual arts even after Christianity was legalized in 313 C.E. To this day, the ichthus and Good Shepherd, among many others, are synonymous with specific principles of the Christian faith.

Search the Internet

To get a better understanding of Early Christian symbols, do some research.
