Description

This is the Chi Rho which is a symbol made from the Greek letters "Chi" and "Rho"(the first two letters in greek "ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ" of the word "Christ"). By taking the XP and placing them on top of one another, it forms somewhat of a cross and resembles the crucifixion. The letters "Alpha" and "Omega" are then added to the left and right in order to convey the message that Jesus Christ is the Beginning the and the End. This symbol has been used since the early Christian church and I found it on a wall in Nazareth, Israel.
