Abstract
Description
The Greek letter Omega appears amongst a field of stars in a mosaic that includes a golden cross in the Basilica of St. Apollinare in Classe (or Basilica of Sant'Apollinare in Classe, or Saint Apollinaris in Classe), which is located in Ravenna, Italy. This is a Christian symbol denoting that like the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, Christ is the beginning and the end.
