Chi Rho Symbol - Meaning, History, and Christian Significance #1463885 (License: Personal Use)

This high-contrast black-and-white image displays the Chi Rho symbol (☧), a Christogram created by overlapping the first two letters of “Christos” (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ) in Greek. Historically adopted by Emperor Constantine I after his vision before the Battle of the Milvian Bridge (312 CE), it became a powerful emblem of Christian identity, used on military standards, coins, and liturgical art. The stylized form shown here reflects traditional medieval manuscript renderings with bold, calligraphic strokes.
