Meaning Of Labarum
n.
The standard adopted by the Emperor Constantine after his
conversion to Christianity. It is described as a pike bearing a silk
banner hanging from a crosspiece, and surmounted by a golden crown. It
bore a monogram of the first two letters (CHR) of the name of Christ in
its Greek form. Later, the name was given to various modifications of
this standard.
