The symbol in the top left-hand corner on this website is called the Labarum.
It is an ancient Christian monogram composed of two superimposed Greek letters, similar to the design on the front of our altar.

The two letters are:
Chi (Pronounced "Ky", as if to rhyme with "lie"), which looks like a capital X, nearest phonetic equivalent is a breathy "ch".
Rho (Pronounced "Row"), which looks like a capital P, phonetic equivalent of English "r".

Together they make "chr", which are the first two Greek letters of "Christos" meaning anointed one or Messiah, from which we derive the name Christ.

The two smaller letters between the arms of the X (the Chi) are Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. "Christ the beginning and the end" are the words said when alpha and omega are inscribed on the Paschal Candle at the start of the Easter Vigil.
