Product Description
Chi-Rho Cross of Love is a shorthand abbreviation for the title “Christ” since Chi (Χ) and Rho (P) are the first two letters of “Christ” in Greek (ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ – Christos). “The Anointed one” is Christ in Greek and “Messiah” (משיח) in Hebrew. This lovely cross with green, blue and red enamel inlay will be the perfect gift for life’s special occasions: birthday, baptism, first communion, confirmation, wedding or wedding anniversary, graduation, ordination or ordination anniversary, and housewarming. The Chi-Rho Cross of Love with Enamel Inlay is of true heirloom quality and will be valued and handed on from one generation to the next!
A Bronze Wall Cross with Enamel Inlay from France
Measuring 5.6 inches high, the Chi-Rho Cross of Love with Enamel Inlay has an eyelet built in to make for easy placement on any wall in home, office, or study. The Chi-Rho Cross of Love with Enamel Inlay was conceived, realized, and hand-finished in the workshop of an artist in France. A truly impressive gift indeed for that most impressive person in your life!
The Name of Christ Jesus – the Name of God
In the Bible, names possess power. A vital connection exists between the name and the one named. A name expresses the very nature of the person. This is nowhere more the case than in regards to God’s name. The tetragrammaton (יהוה – YHWH – Yahweh) – the name of God in Hebrew – is too sacred to ever be uttered aloud. Rather, the title My Lord (Adonai ) is substituted to speak of or to pray to God (go to History/Story tab). The name of Jesus and his title as the Messiah (Christ), on the other hand, are now exalted and proclaimed:
Although he was in the form of God and equal with God, he did not take advantage of this equality. Instead, he emptied himself by taking on the form of a servant, by becoming like other humans, by having a human appearance. He humbled himself by becoming obedient to the point of death, death on a cross. This is why God has given him an exceptional honor – the name honored above all other names – so that at the name of Jesus everyone in heaven, on earth, and in the world below will kneel and confess that Jesus Christ is Lord to the glory of God the Father.
– Philippians 2:6-11

Yahweh – Too Sacred to Use?
The Catholic Church never used the name Yahweh in liturgical texts or bibles before Vatican II, after which it began to see limited use in the Jerusalem Bible and certain contemporary hymns. In 2001, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments directed that the word “Lord” and its equivalent in other languages be used instead. In 2007, Pope Benedict XVI ordered the Pontificial Biblicial Commission to investigate whether the use of the name Yahweh was offensive to Jewish groups, and in 2008 the Vatican recommended against the use of the word in new bibles and prohibited its continued use in vernacular worship. In the King James Version and many older versions of the Bible, the transliteration JHVH is translated as Jehovah in some places, but almost all modern Bibles substitute “the LORD” or “GOD” for the tetragrammaton, although the Sacred Name Movement, active since the 1930s, promotes the use of the name Yahweh in Bible translations and in liturgy.
