Description: Chi Rho are the first two letters of the word Christ in Greek (Greek: "Χριστός"). The Chi Rho monogram is one of the earliest symbols used by Christians. The monogram is also reminiscent of the cross of Christ and thus the crucifixion. This Christogram is thus a symbol of the early Christians. The words Alpha and Omega come from the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega" (Ancient Greek: τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω), a designation of Jesus in the Book of Revelation, because Jesus is the beginning and the end and the letters Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω) are the first and last letters of the classical Greek alphabet, respectively.
