Rho Tapestries
Description: At the Battle of Milvan Bridge, this sign was said to have appeared to Constantine in the sky accompanied by the words "IN HOC SIGNO VINCES", meaning "BY THIS SIGN SHALT THOU CONQUER". Constantine's men painted the Chi-Rho (The monogram of Christ), on their shields and won the battle.
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.
Description: The Chi Rho (☧, English pronunciation /ˈkaɪ ˈroʊ/; also known as chrismon) is one of the earliest forms of the Christogram, formed by superimposing the first two (capital) letters—chi and rho (ΧΡ)—of the Greek ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (rom: Christos) in such a way that the vertical stroke of the rho intersects the center of the chi.
Description: A monogram of chi (Χ) and rho (Ρ) as the first two letters of Greek Khristos Christ, used as a Christian symbol. This was given to the Emperor Constantine in a vision by God prior to battle. He instructed his army to paint this symbol on his shield, and as a result was victorious! This logo is black in color and has a "weathered" look.

Description: During the Covid-19 Lockdown in my reflections on Holy Week I thought about how the word "Corona" means "Crown" and it made me contemplate an analogy where sin is the original pandemic afflicting humanity. Even before the pandemic many people lived in fear to go where they wanted to when they wanted to because of the hatred and brutality of others. We live in a world that is infected by sin and many times we infect others through our actions and attitudes and failure to 'Love your neighbor as yourself’.
