    Figures of fish are frequently used in Churches of Cappadocia symbolizing the faithful who were called pisciculi and who became members of the church by being baptized in the piscina.

    The acrostic of the Greek word for fish formed the phrase, Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior. A cross in a circle with fish on both sides symbolized the faithful people who believed in Jesus Christ.
