ABOUT This pendant features the Alpha Omega Chi Rho on a Greek Cross, also known as an Equal Armed cross. The Chi Rho, also known as chrismon or sigla, is one of the earliest forms of christogram, formed by superimposing the first two capital letters chi and rho of the Greek word (Christos) in such a way that the vertical stroke of the rho intersects the center of the chi. An early visual representation of the connection between the Crucifixion of Jesus and his resurrection, seen in the 4th century sarcophagus of Domitilla in Rome, the use of a wreath around the Chi-Rho symbolizes the victory of the Resurrection over death. A Christogram (Latin Monogramma Christi) is a monogram or combination of letters that forms an abbreviation for the name of Jesus Christ, traditionally used as a religious symbol within the Christian Church. One of the oldest Christograms is the Chi-Rho. It consists of the superimposed Greek letters chi and rho, which are the first two letters of Greek "Christ". It was displayed on the labarum military standard used by Constantine I in AD 312. The IX monogram (Christliche Symbolik (Menzel) I 193 4.jpg) is a similar form, using the initials of the name "Jesus (the) Christ", as is the monogram, using the first two letters of the name "Jesus". The name Jesus, in Greek capitals, has the abbreviations IHS (also written JHS or IHC), the name Christus , has XP (and inflectional variants IX, XPO, XPS, XPI, XPO, XPM). In Eastern Christian tradition, the monogram (with Overline indicating scribal abbreviation) is used in both Greek and Cyrillic tradition. A Middle Latin term for abbreviations of the name of Christ is chrisimus. Similarly, Middle Latin crismon, chrismon refers to the Chi Rho monogram specifically. ALPHA AND OMEGA Alpha (a) and omega (O) are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, and a title of Christ and God in the Book of Revelation. This pair of letters are used as Christian symbols, and are often combined with the Cross, Chi-rho, or other Christian symbols. The term Alpha and Omega comes from the phrase "I am Alpha and Omega" (Koiné Greek: O), an appellation of Jesus in the Book of Revelation (verses 1:8, 21:6, and 22:13). The first part of this phrase ("I am the Alpha and Omega") is first found in Chapter 1 verse 8 ("1v8"), and is found in every manuscript of Revelation that has 1v8. Several later manuscripts repeat "I am the Alpha and Omega" in 1v11 too, but do not receive support here from most of the oldest manuscripts, including the Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi Rescriptus. It is, therefore, omitted in some modern translations. Scholar Robert Young stated, with regard to "I am the Alpha and Omega" in 1v11, the "oldest manuscripts omit" it. This phrase is interpreted by many Christians to mean that Jesus has existed for all eternity or that God is eternal. The letters Alpha and Omega in juxtaposition are often used as a Christian visual symbol. The symbols were used in early Christianity and appear in the Roman catacombs. The letters were shown hanging from the arms of the cross in Early Christian art, and some crux gemmata, jeweled crosses in precious metal, have formed letters hanging in this way, called pendilia; for example, in the Asturian coat of arms, which is based upon the Asturian Victory Cross. In fact, despite always being in Greek, the letters became more common in Western than Eastern Orthodox Christian art. They are often shown to the left and right of Christ's head, sometimes within his halo, where they take the place of the Christogram used in Orthodox art. In Rabbinic literature, the word emet meaning "truth", one of the names of God in Judaism, has been interpreted as consisting of the first, middle, and final letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The Qur'an gives al'Awwal meaning "The First" and al'Akhir meaning "The Last" as two of the names of God: 57:3.

There were a very considerable number of variants of "Christograms" or monograms of Christ in use during the medieval period, with the boundary between specific monograms and mere scribal abbreviations somewhat fluid. The name Jesus, spelt in Greek capitals, has the abbreviations IHS (also written JHS, IHC), the name Christus , has XP (and inflectional variants such as IX, XPO, XPS, XPI, XPO, XPM). In Eastern Christian tradition, the monogram (with Overline indicating scribal abbreviation) is used in both Greek and Cyrillic tradition.
