The Greek letters alpha and omega

Alpha (Α or α) and Omega (Ω or ω) are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. These two letters together form a monogram that represents one of the many names of Jesus Christ, even with the Greek letter Mu (Μ or μ).

The name is found in the Book of Revelation in the New Testament of the Bible, which was written in ancient Greek.
