> "Chi rho' is a symbol used by Christians since ancient times. It is the first two letters of Christ's name spelled in Greek. The letter "chi" which looks like an X makes the "ch" sound and the letter "rho" which looks like a P, makes the "r" sound. The chi rho symbol looks like an X with a P superimposed on it.

> Christians also traditionally associated the letter chi with the cross of Christ. The Latin word for cross is "crux" and 'hor' is an anagram of 'rho'.
