Jesus Christ wasn't a fisherman. But a couple of his disciples were. In Jesus's day, son's followed after their father's trade. And Jesus's Father, Joseph was a carpenter. So Jesus was a carpenter. He probably didn't do much carpentry while he was going around preaching and healing.
There is probably no definitive answer as to why someone adopted the fish symbol in Christianity, but it has been used as a religious symbol for millennia.
Natural reasons could be the reference to the disciples as fishers of men, or a play on words, using the sign said to have been placed over the cross, "IC(H)T(H)US", which coincidentally spells fish in Greek. Of course, these reasons, even if applicable, do not explain why exactly this ancient fish symbol began to be used.
The fish symbol was formerly used quite widely as a sacred symbol of the female vulva. The fish Goddess, Aphrodite Salacia, was worshipped by her followers on her sacred day, Friday, when they ate fish and engaging in orgies. It may be that, just as the early Christians adopted pagan feast days in order to divert worship away from pagan deities, so they adopted the fish symbol and ate fish on Fridays, but of course did not engage in orgies.
No, Jesus was not a fisherman. According to The Bible, Jesus was a carpenter by trade before he began his ministry.
I do not think so. The Bible doesn't say so.
Fishermen have used the same method for years at Jesus time, they used fishing nets and boats, they also went out in the night as their catch of fish would be more then in the day.
Jesus went fishing in lake galillee.
No, Peter in the Bible was not a lawyer. He was one of Jesus' closest disciples and is considered one of the founding leaders of the Christian Church. He was a fisherman by trade before he began following Jesus.
Peter worked as a fisherman, along with his brother Andrew, before he followed Jesus.
Simon Peter was a fisherman before becoming an apostle. He worked with his brother Andrew as a fisherman on the Sea of Galilee.
St. Andrew was a fisherman by trade before becoming one of the 12 apostles of Jesus.
There is no historical evidence to suggest that Saint Peter was a farmer. He is traditionally depicted as a fisherman, reflecting his occupation before becoming one of the twelve apostles of Jesus.
