WHAT DOES CHRISMON MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Chrismon

A chrismon is a Christian symbol representing Jesus Christ. As in the case of Christogram, the term chrismon comes from the Latin phrase "Christi monogramma", meaning "monogram of Christ". Since early Christianity, the term chrismon has traditionally referred to any symbol or figure reminiscent of the name of Christ, by contrast with the basic christogram consisting of plain letters typically implying the presence of some kind of calligraphic ornamentation. In the 20th century the term also started to be used in a wider sense to refer to a wide range of ornaments used during Christmas.

Definition of chrismon in the English dictionary

The definition of chrismon in the dictionary is the monogram and symbol of Christ's name, also known as chi-rho, derived from the initial two letters of the word `Christ' in Greek.
