There are two symbols that Christians use to secretly let someone know they are a Christian. In Roman times the symbol was a fish. The word fish in Greek made an acronym of a phrase describing Jesus. Today you can see that on cars etc.
The more modern symbol is the cross. How else in an area where people can be killed for being Christian could you have a guard let a prisoner know. Both countries were at the time communist and Christians were "reeducated" or killed.
The commonality of the stories only reinforces that they are probably true. Only the symbol and no words that could be overheard.
Do you people think before you rant? Of course not.-

On the fish: Specifically it is from scripture: Jesus said "what is your task?" The reply was "We are fishermen". Jesus said "Leave your nets, for I will make you Fishers of Men".

The elliptical fish symbol was used in Roman times. When meetings were secretly held, the first person there would draw an inverted arc. The last person (and who guarded the meeting) would draw a normal arc, connected on the left side and crossing just past midway, symbolizing the connection to the past as Fishers of Men.
