What is the X in XMAS?


Short Hand: The idea of using �X� in place of Christ is not a modern idea. In the Modern Roman Alphabet, the first letter of the word �Christ� is �chi� which is represented by a symbol similar to the letter �X�.

You will frequently see people write Xmas as well as Xian, which means Christian, using the same principle. [Cross and Chi -- Two chi's superimposed upon one another. The chi in its normal position represents Christ. The chi in the position of the cross represents Christ's crucifixion.]

>Dear brothers and sisters!
>Merry Xmas and Happy New Year
>May God Bless you throughout the next year2005!
>May you have a great Xmas with your loved ones
