Vicapedia - Why do we use 'X' for a kiss?

Available for over a year

It's something most, if not all of us use, the letter 'x' as a kiss. But have you ever wondered where it comes from? Turns out it's a practice that's older than you probably thought! Marcel Danesi is Author of 'The History of the Kiss'... If you've got a question for the Vicapedia, get in touch at viconair@bbc.co.uk
