In Catholicism, the symbol of the letter ''X'' combined with the letter ''P'', called ''chi-rho'', stands for the first two letters of ''Christ'' in Greek. It is the reason that Christmas can be abbreviated as X-mas.
"[[Wikipedia:Chi Rho|Chi Rho (XP)]]" was a symbol used by the early Christian church to abbreviate the name of Jesus Christ. It is formed from the first two letters of the original Greek title Christos:'''ΧΡ'''ΙΣΤΟΣ.
