3d Chi Rho with Alpha and Omega

by Bill M. Tracer
published on Dec 16, 2008

Now thought to possibly be the most ancient Christian symbol, the Chi Rho represents the honorific name Christ by combining the first and second letters of that name in Greek. Christian artifacts have recently been found dating back to before 70 AD, with the Chi Rho scratched on them. By the third and forth centuries this symbol was often used flanked by the Alpha and Omega Greek letters representing the first and the last. Here I created these symbols in 3D rendered in Bryce, with post effects done in Photoshop.

Chi and rho are not the first and last letters of Christ's name in Greek but the first two letters. The word is "xpistos", chi, rho, iota, sigma, tau, omega, sigma. That aside, the picture is impressive.

Frank, you'll be glad to know that I have fixed this problem in my description. It now refers correctly to the Chi and rho as the first and second letters of Christ's name. Thank you for pointing that out, giving me the opportunity to correct that error.
