Fish are a common thread connecting numerous stories in the Bible, and today their symbol focuses on the religious origins of Christmas. Fish signify Christ's miracles and, like Christ, provide nourishment and sustain life. Fish represent the messages of the Christmas season - renewal of life, rejuvenation, and love. In the popular movie "Finding Nemo" the little fish "Nemo" is a clown fish.
