Christmas is additionally in some cases known as Xmas. A few people don't believe it's right to call Christmas "Xmas" as that removes the "Christ" (Jesus) from Christmas. (As Christmas originates from Christ-Mass, the Church benefit that praised the introduction of Jesus.) In any case, that is not exactly right! In the Greek dialect and letter set, the letter that resembles a X is the Greek letter chi/Χ (proclaimed "kye" - it rhymes with 'eye') which is the main letter of the Greek word for Christ, Christos.
The early church utilized the initial two letters of Christos in the Greek letters in order "chi" and "rho" to make a monogram (image) to speak to the name of Jesus. This resembles a X with a little p on the top: ☧
The image of a fish is in some cases utilized by Christians (you may see a fish sticker on an auto or somebody wearing a little fish identification). This originates from the time when the main Christians needed to meet in mystery, as the Romans needed to kill them (before Emperor Constantine turned into a Christian). Jesus had said that he needed to make his devotees 'Fishers of Men', so individuals began to utilize that image.
At the point when two Christians met, one individual drew a large portion of a fundamental fish shape (regularly utilizing their foot as a part of the tidy on the ground) and the other individual drew the other portion of the fish. The Greek word for fish is "Ikthus" or 'Ichthys'. There are five Greek letters in the word. It can likewise make up a sentence of Christian convictions 'Ie-sous Christos Theou Huios So-te-r' which in English signifies "Jesus Christ, Son of God, Savior". The second letter of these five letter is X or Christos!
So Xmas can likewise mean Christmas; however it ought to likewise be declared "Christmas" as opposed to 'ex-mas'!
