Product Description
The Chi-Rho Cross symbolizes the tree of life and features the Chi-Rho symbol with beautiful red and blue inlay. The Chi-Rho is shorthand for the title “Christ” since Chi (Χ) and Rho (P) are the first two letters of ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos or Christ) in Greek. Christ means “anointed one” in Greek. This lovely Cross with blue and red enamel inlay makes a stunning gift for many occasions: Christmas, birthday, baptism, first communion, confirmation, wedding, wedding anniversary, graduation, ordination, ordination anniversary or housewarming. The Chi-Rho Cross is a true heirloom quality cross that will be appreciated and passed on within the family for generations.
A Bronze Cross Pendant with Enamel Inlay from France
Measuring 4.25 x 2.75 inches, the solid bronze Chi-Rho Cross has an eyelet for a jump ring to allow for wear as a pendant or pectoral cross as well as for easy hanging on the wall in home, office or study. The Chi-Rho Cross was designed, created and handfinished in a French artisan’s workshop. What a beautiful gift for that most beautiful person in your life.
The Name of God—The Name of Christ Jesus
In the Bible, names have power. There is a vital connection between the name and the person named. A name represents the very nature of the person. This is nowhere more true in regards to the name of God. The tetragrammaton (יהוה—YHWH—Yahweh)—for the name of God in Hebrew—is so sacred that it must never be said aloud. Rather, the title Adonai (My Lord) is used to mention or to pray to God. The name of Jesus and his title as the “Christ” are now exalted (Philippians 2:6-11):
Christ Jesus, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own advantage; rather, he made himself nothing by taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness. And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death-even death on a cross! Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue acknowledge that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

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.
