The vesica piscis is the intersection of two congruent disks, each centered on the perimeter of the other. The vesica piscis is a type of lens, a mathematical shape formed by the intersection of two disks with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each disk lies on the perimeter of the other.

The aureola, when enveloping the whole body, generally appears oval or elliptical in form, but occasionally depicted as circular, vesica piscis, or quatrefoil. When it appears merely as a luminous disk round the head, it is called specifically a halo or nimbus, while the combination of nimbus and aureole is called a glory.
An overlapping circles grid is a geometric pattern of repeating, overlapping circles of an equal radius in two-dimensional space.Commonly, designs are based on circles centered on triangles (with the simple, two circle form named vesica piscis) or on the square lattice pattern of points.
The lens shape formed by such an intersection is called vesica piscis when two same-radius circles overlap, with the center of each lying on the perimeter of the other, [124] which is not the case on the monument grounds.
This particular version is based on a description in the book "Blood Brothers of Gor", using the geometry of the Vesica Piscis configuration (i.e. the overlap between two circles of equal diameter, where the center of each circle is on the circumference of the other).
Hartman's vision for The Cathedral of Christ the Light was likened to the image of a bishop's mitre, [10] shaped by steel and filled with glass frit. [11] The worship space in The Cathedral of Christ the Light is a vesica piscis shape (translated into English means fish bladder), the shape formed by the intersection of two circles. The walls ...
From ancient history to the modern day, the clitoris has been discredited, dismissed and deleted -- and women's pleasure has often been left out of the conversation entirely. Now, an underground art movement led by artist Sophia Wallace is emerging across the globe to challenge the lies, question the myths and rewrite the rules around sex and the female body.
The vesica piscis is a symbol made from two circles of the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the circumference of the other. The name literally means the bladder of the fish in Latin.
