Chi Rho

The Chi Rho is an ancient Christian symbol formed by superimposing the letters "X" (Chi) and "P" (Rho), the first two letters of "Christ" in Greek. It symbolizes Jesus Christ and represents the Christian faith. This symbol was popularized by Emperor Constantine in the 4th century when he reportedly saw it in a vision before a battle, which led to his conversion to Christianity. The Chi Rho often appears in Christian art, liturgical items, and ecclesiastical decorations, highlighting its significance in Christian heritage and identity.
