Do you know where X&O became the symbol for kisses and hugs?

Medieval practice allowed those who could not write sign documents with an "X". This was done before witnesses, and the signer placed a kiss upon the "X" to show sincerity. Some believe that the "X" was chosen to represent a pledge in the name of Christ, since the "X" or Chi symbol is the letter of the Greek alphabet used in church history to represent the Son of God.

Now i know what xoxo means :D
