The Chi Rho is one of the earliest forms of Christogram, and is used by Christians. It is formed by<br />
superimposing the first two letters in the Greek spelling of the word Christ in Greek : "Χριστός"<br />
ICXC<br />
In Eastern Orthodoxy, the most widely used Christogram is a four-letter abbreviation ICXC—a<br />
traditional abbreviation of the Greek words for "Jesus Christ" (that is, the first and last letters of each of<br />
the words ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ—written "IHCOYC XPICTOC"<br />
It is sometimes rendered as "ICXC NIKA," meaning "Jesus Christ Conquers."<br />
"ICXC" may also be seen inscribed on the Ichthys. Moreover, in the traditional Orthodox icon of Christ<br />
Pantokrator, Christ's right hand is shown in a pose that represents the letters IC, X, and C.<br />
