In Latin, X = Christos = Christ.
X as a symbol for Christ actually comes from the Greek letter chi (Christ in Greek is Xristos). It was first used as an abbreviation for Christ in "IXOYE," (OK, I can't get SC to display Greek characters, so "IXOYE" is not really correct--the "O" should be a theta and the E should be a sigma; just pretend) which is commonly seen these days on those Jesus fish thingies people put on their cars. "IXOYE" is Greek for "fish" but it was used as an acronym for a phrase to the effect of "Jesus Christ, son of God, savior." Early Christians used "IXOYE" as a code word to avoid persecution.

Shit. I thought I was a little closer than that. I'd heard all that. At first I thought "Roman", but then I remembered something about X being "Christos" in Latin, and also I think part of it came from the Romans & Greeks getting mixed up in my head too easily when it comes to language.
I do know that the "Jesus Fish" was originally a pagan worship symbol, meant to sybolize the "yonni" (sp?) (No, NOT Yanni!), otherwhise known as "Cunt", but was later adopted by early christians as a symbol to identify eachother. One would draw one half of the fish, and the other would complete it.
Christmas and Easter are pagan too. You fucking heathens.
