Spirited Photos

Dyslexic 4th Century Christian

This lead tank found in Suffolk has ancient Christian symbols : the Chi-Rho (for Christ) and the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet (Alpha and Omega.) Except perhaps the workman didn't know what he was working on, because when the tank came out of the mould it was Omega and Alpha! Seen at the British Museum.
