X=XP, the Greek symbol of Christ. Didn't know that--or didn't remember it, until I pulled out my dictionary this morning, looking for an X word. And there it was! X=chi; P=rho, the chi-rho=the Christ symbol, used everywhere in early Christianity.And long before it became a "curse word" among Christians or a politically correct term for the rest of the world, the term Xmas has been used. It was never intended to take Christ out of Christmas. Quite the opposite.
So, what how do you think the rest of the world would react if we lay down our swords and entered the Xmas crowd. We don't have to fight them; we could join them, leaving everything we love about this time of year perfectly intact. We could quietly diffuse the hype, by just laying down our swords and using this beautiful antique meaning for what it was meant to be all along.
Merry Xmas all - the Light has come!
