Holy Cross

Cross near the river Istra (Jordan) 20m from the temple. New Jerusalem, Moscow region. Russia.
Many archaeological finds confirm the use of the symbols of the cross from the most ancient times. Among the ancient Egyptians, the sign with the ring ☥ (Ankh) denoted life and the gods. In Assyria, more than three thousand years ago, a circle with two intersecting lines was one of the symbols of the sun god.
The cult of the cross in Christianity originated from the crucifixion of Jesus Christ (in those days it was a very common method of death penalty). The English word cross itself comes from the Latin "crux", which means "gallows, tree, instrument of execution." Now the cross of Christ is the main symbol of Christianity, a sign of Christ's victory over death. This cross is a symbol of God's sacrificial love for people.
