If you add up the first letters of the Greek words "Jesus Christ is the Son of God the Saviour" the word that means "fish". That's why the early Christians did the image of the fish as a secret sign of the Lord and began to portray it on the seals, lamps, sarcophags and vessels. The most of the Apostles were fishermen so there was an analogy between fishing and the treatment of people to the new faith. Jesus called the apostles "fishmen of people".
One of the miracles of the Lord was the saturation of five thousand people with five loaves and two fishes. His Fathers interpreted as a type of the Eucharist and the fish were pictured together with the grapes which is a symbol of the Blood of Christ. This symbolic ornament decorates this guard ring with the prayer of the Holy Trinity, "Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us."
