Chi Rho, Alpha and Omega, Stone Cross Grave Marker

European Cemetery

Old, weathered stone cross, likely a grave marker. The cross itself is substantial and made of a dark, rough-hewn stone, possibly granite.

Engraved into the vertical beam of the cross are symbols. On the upper part, there appears to be a "P" (rho) intersected by an "X" (chi), forming a Chi Rho, an ancient Christogram. Below this, there are faint symbols that resemble "A" (alpha) and "Ω" (omega), often used together as a Christian symbol representing God as the beginning and end.

This is located in a European cemetery.
