Cross Symbol
The cross symbol has been a special symbol in many cultures long before Christ came and atoned for us. There has been various types of cross symbols in many caves and ruins that date back several thousand years ago.
The cross was used around the time of Christ as a cruel torturous device to torture and kill people. That is how Jesus Christ was crucified. For several hundred years after that the official symbol of Christianity was the Christian fish. Then with time the cross symbol was adopted by the Christians as their symbol.
The different types of crosses are all related at their core design and have the same cross meaning. Yet the different types of crosses add many cultural Christian symbols to the cross increasing the symbolic value of the cross.
This post shows a small sample of various types of crosses. The cross meaning at the core is the same but the cross meaning is richer to the Christian based on the different types of crosses like Fleur de lis cross necklaces, Celtic cross necklaces, French cross necklaces etc.
