Chi-Rho symbol

The Chi-Rho is an ancient Christian symbol formed by superimposing the Greek letters Chi (Χ) and Rho (Ρ), which are the first two letters of "Christ" in Greek. It serves as a visual representation of Jesus Christ and is often used to signify Christian faith. Historically, it emerged in early Christianity and was adopted as a symbol of divine authority and protection. The Chi-Rho is sometimes depicted with additional elements like a cross or accompanying symbols, emphasizing its association with Christ’s crucifixion and resurrection. It remains a powerful emblem of Christian identity and spirituality.
