Necklace, Fish, Sterling

If two strangers met and were unsure whether each other was a Christian, one would draw an arc in the earth like:). If the other were a Christian, they would complete the symbol with a reverse arc: (), forming the outline of a fish. http://www.religioustolerance.org/chr_symb.htm
