+Where does the word **Xmas** come from?
+
+Early Christians used many symbols such as the Chi Rho, the
+Ichthys, the Anchored Cross, and the Sator Square.
+
+### Chi Rho
+The
+[Chi Rho](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chi_Rho){target="_blank"},
+☧
+as explained in this
+[YouTube Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUZdV7xL_Ds&t=594s){target="_blank"},
+is a symbol composed by overlaying Chi and Rho, the first two Greek
+Letters in the word *Christ*. And well, it kind of looks like an
+**X** doesn't it? This is where the word *Xmas* comes from.
+
+### Anchored Cross
+Early Christians also drew the
+[Anchored Cross](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anchored_cross){target="_blank"},
+⚓
+as explained in this
+[YouTube Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUZdV7xL_Ds&t=628s){target="_blank"},
+because it contains a cross.
+
+### Ichthys
+
+The
+[Ichthys ∝](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ichthys){target="_blank"},
+otherwise known as *The Christian Fish Symbol*, as explained in this
+[YouTube Video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qUZdV7xL_Ds&t=544s){target="_blank"},
+which early Christians used as a secret sign with which to identify
+each other, because Christ told several of his Disciples that
+he would make them *Fishers of Men*.
+
+### Sator Square
+
+The [Sator Square](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sator_Square){target="_blank"},
+as explained in this
+[YouTube Video](https://www.youtube/watch?v=qUZdV7xL_Ds&t=203s){target="_blank"},
+is a mysterious square of 5 Latin words which mirror each other forwards and backward,
+both vertically and horizontally.
+
+A translation, derived from the nominal translations of the individual words
+in the context of the _rotatability_ of their arrangement, would
+presumable be something like _AS YE SOW, SO SHALL YE IN TURN REAP_.

+
+
+You can rearrange the letters into a cross contructed from the word
+_PATERNOSTER_, which translates to _Our Father_, decorated with the
+symbolic first and last letters of the Greek alphabet,
+_Alpha_ and _Omega_, a title ascribed to God
+in Revelations, meaning _The Beginning And The End_.
