Sign & Symbol of the Cross

The sign of the cross is the act of tracing the sign with your finger tips from ones forehead to the chest to left then right shoulder. This gesture is a reminder of the Cross of Christ and the Holy Trinity. The Catholic church along with the Eastern Orthodox and Episcopalians each practice this signing ritual as part of their religion.

The symbol of the cross is used on coffins and etched on tombstones of the dead to signify that the deceased is of the Christian faith. Even through Jesus Christ the Savior was crucified on the cross it is most prominent symbol of Christianity. The love of the Savior Jesus Christ who gave His life to atone for the sins of man, is enveloped by the cross. It's meaning is understanding and patience and hope that we are all saved by the blood of Christ.

As in Christianity, other religions have symbols that define their religion. The Islam religion has the crescent, a symbol of the sovereignty of God and Judaism uses the Star of David as a symbol of their religion. Every religion, sect and cult has a designated symbol that represents their faith. From Confucianism to Voodoo to Buddhism to the Baha'i Faith all religions use symbols to represent their faith.

The common factor in all these religions is God, a Supreme Being that created us in His image and a God that demands our love and devotion. If we could overcome for just one moment the visual symbols of religion and focus on what the meaning of faith is truly, this world would be a better place. The cross symbolizes love, the crescent moon, love, Star of David love, all symbols of faith and love of God and our fellow man.
