 lab·a·rum /ˈlæbərəm/

From: Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913)

 Lab·a·rum n.; pl. Labara   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 (ΧΡ) (which appear like the English letters X and P), of the name of Christ in its Greek form. Later, the name was given to various modifications of this standard.
