咁都得？！唔信還唔信，
但呢個節日真係有耶穌先有架喎…..
有咩理由將Christ >> X ？？！！
如果真係咁實在太唔專重喎。

我搵到點解Christmas 會寫作X'mas︰
這個Ｘ是代表基督，即希臘文Chi。在基督教傳統中，往往以Ｘ和Ｐ加起來組成代表基督的符號。下面Link的網頁有張相，可以看看這個據說由君士坦丁大帝在異象中所見的符號。原來的引文是這樣的：
Chi Rho
Of the several sacred monograms of Christ, the Chi Rho is one of the most ancient. It is generally formed of the Greek letters chi (X) and rho (P). These are the first letters of the Greek word "XPICTOC" (pronounced Christos), which means "Christ." The monogram has been styled in a variety of imaginative ways over the centuries. Other symbols are sometimes added to the monogram to call to mind a particular attribute of our Lord.
