The Chi Rho page is one of the most famous pages in the Book of Kells and is known for its elaborate and ornate decoration. The Chi Rho is a symbol that represents the first two letters of the Greek word for "Christ”. The symbol is formed by combining the letters X (chi) and P (rho), which are written in Greek uncial script.
