Ezekiel 9:3 And the glory of the Lord of Israel went up from the cherub, upon which he was, to the threshold of the house: and he called to the man that was clothed with linen, and had a writer's inkhorn at his loins. 4 And the Lord said to him: Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem: and mark Thau upon the foreheads of the men that sigh, and mourn for all the abominations that are committed in the midst thereof.
The Hebrew letter "tau" or "thau" resembled a "T", which later became a "t".
Some say that this is where the practice of making the sign of the cross on the forehead came from.
