In today's world, many Christians display feelings of negativity and resentment upon seeing the phrase “X-Mas” used. This is mainly due to the notion that there is an underlying desire for everyone who uses the phrase to remove Christ from the Holiday. However, in reality the term “X-Mas” has its origins in Christianity in a very strong way. X, or Chi in Greek, is the sound “Ch” in the New Testament Greek language. Xristos, is the word for Christ in Greek, which starts with the symbol Chi. (X) Therefore, the term “X-Mas” is not merely trying to cross or take out God. Rather, the symbol Chi (X) is a symbol for the word Christ. Thus showing that in reality “X-Mas” is just a shorter way of saying Christmas while still maintaining the religious roots and the significance of Christ's birthday. So before we make an accusation of “heathenism” and take offense, let us first reflect of the truth behind “X”,and understand what the real meaning is.
