Default Re: Official Merry X-Mas to OOT thread! (LC)

I thought the substitution of X for Christ goes back to some old engligh bible known as the Chi-Ro bible where Chi and Ro are denoted by greek letters most similar to X and R in english. I'm pretty much grasping at straws from my intro to Art history class 4 years ago, so can anyone back me up here?
