Title

Altar oil lamp with chi rho monogram

General notes

The chi-rho monogram looks like P and X in the Roman alphabet but are actually 'chi' (looks like X) and 'rho' (looks like P) from the Greek alphabet. As they are the first two letters of "Christ" in Greek (Christos), the chi-rho monogram is used as a symbol of Christ, Christianity, and Christians.
