The symbolism of the cross - The cross is a symbol of spirituality and healing. The four points of the cross represent the self, nature, wisdom, and a higher power or being. It is associated with transition, balance, faith, unity, temperance, hope, and life. It is one of the earliest Christian symbols, symbolizing the Christian religion in the broadest sense, or more specifically, the death of Christ. There are many variations, some of which have specific meanings. The empty cross, for example, reminds Christians of the resurrection, while the crucifix with the body of Jesus reminds them of his sacrifice. The Greek cross, with equal arms, is a symbol of faith, hope, and love. The triumphal cross with a circle represents Christ’s reign over the world. The symbolism of the Celtic cross, especially the equilateral one, reveals the human desire to know and experience the unfolding mystery of life. It offers four paths to ascension - objective knowledge of the Self, Nature, Wisdom, and God. The Celtic cross can also be seen as a compass. When we find ourselves tossed by the stormy seas of life, it can reorient our focus and move our thoughts in the right direction. By affirming the symbolic meanings of the cross, we place our spirit on solid ground.
