11 West – Chi Rho Rings
Wilson Chaney – Donor
The Chi Rho (English pronunciation kie – roe) is one of the earliest forms of Christogram, often formed by superimposing the first two (capital) letters—chi and rho (ΧΡ)—of the Greek word ΧΡΙΣΤΟΣ (Christos) in such a way that the vertical stroke of the rho intersects the center of the chi. In this panel the letters are found in two interwoven gold rings, signifying Christian marriage.

Let love be genuine; hate what is evil, hold fast to what is good; love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. —Romans 12:9-10
