As a Christian symbol, the Alpha and Omega represent the eternal nature of Jesus Christ. Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. The symbol recalls a line in the Book of Revelation:

"I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord."]]> Trinity Episcopal Church or Original Submitter photo Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:46:22 -0500 http://photos.trinityjanesville.org/v/Places/Windows/Ertl/church+windows+G3+016+_Large_.jpg.html http://photos.trinityjanesville.org/v/Places/Windows/Ertl/church+windows+G3+016+_Large_.jpg.html
The emblem or monogram representing the Holy Name of Jesus consists of the three letters: IHS. In the Middle Ages the Name of Jesus was written: IHESUS; the monogram contains the first and last letter of the Holy Name. It is first found on a gold coin of the eight century: DN IHS CHS REX REGNANTIUM (The Lord Jesus Christ, King of Kings). Some erroneously say that the three letters are the initials of: "Jesus Hominum Salvator" (Jesus Saviour of Men). The Jesuits made this monogram the emblem of their Society, adding a cross over the H and three nails under it. Consequently a new explanation of the emblem was invented, pretending that the nails originally were a "V", and that the monogram stands for "In Hoc Signo Vinces" (In This Sign you shall Conquer), the words which, according to a legendary account, Constantine saw in the heavens under the Sign of the Cross before the battle at the Milvian bridge (312).]]> Trinity Episcopal Church or Original Submitter photo Sun, 16 Mar 2008 16:23:42 -0500
