Description
This statue of the Virgin Mary stands outside Nazareth's Church of the Annunciation. The Chi-Rho Christogram--the oldest Christian cross form symbol--appears in the background flanked by the Greek letters alpha and omega. The Chi-Rho usage as a Christian symbol dates to the reign of Roman Emperor Constantine the Great (born c. 272; Emperor 306-337).
Image captured with a Canon 5D Mark III & Canon 70-200 f/4L IS USM lens.
