Chi-Rho



The Chi-Rho symbol is an ancient symbol that the early Christians used in their art, on burial grounds and in their places of worship to mark out a particular place or person as belonging to the Christian faith.  The symbol is made by the overlapping of the first two letters of the Greek spelling of Christ (in Greek, Christos: chi-rho-iota-sigma-tau-omnicron-sigma).
