The Cross-A Symbol For All Times

   

 

The cross symbol dates back to the stone age and has been seen etched into caves dating back to the earliest of civilizations.

During the Bronze Age (3300-1200BCE) the cross was used on vessels and thought to to symbolize consecrations especially in regards to burial (1).

It's most common association is with Christianity. For those with religious beliefs, as it reminds Christians of Christ's sacrifice to take away the sins of the world.

It has also become a pop culture symbol that is unrelated to any religious belief.

 



The cross has been used in many modern depictions including organizations such as "The Red Cross" which uses it as a logo, the medical industry which uses it as a symbol of first aid and many nations using the cross as emblems on their flags.
