The turtle is almost always seen as a symbol of strength, stability, benevolence, and wisdom in ancient myths and legend. Turtles seem to possess an enviable resistance to aging, and so they came to symbolize longevity and even immortality.
In Christianity, the fish symbol represents Christ as the “Fisher of Men”.
In oriental traditions, the fish represents abundance and wealth, fertility and renewal. Since they commonly travel in schools, they also symbolize unity and working together. |
