Aye and so it is. The darling nuns who raised me taught me this back in the day - that was before the X somehow, somewhere acquired its depreciated connotation. As I remember how they told it, X was/is the symbol for Christ. Actually from the Greek symbol for Christ: Xp (and here we see the subtle hidden meaning of the Windows platform! Illuminati!
) - today one may recognize it best in that fish that people put on the backs of their cars. With a bit of imaginagtion, the fish looks like X and P fused.
The symbol was necessary because Christians were persecuted in the times of Ancient Rome, and so to correspond they had this sort of secret code to which the X or Xp belonged. At least, that is the way I remember what they taught me in the old days. So Christ would still be in Xmas.
Please don't slaughter me now if I haven't got it totally right. I live for these moments when I might seem like I actually know something, and I can use these pieces of fluff that fill my brain.
