Art of the Cross celebrates one of the worlds most recognized ancient symbols-the cross. This iconic symbol predates Christianity in cultures around the world; and has been used as a religious symbol and as an ornament from the dawn of civilization. Crosses have been found in almost every part of the old world; from Scandinavia where the Tau cross symbolized the hammer of the God Thor; to India; where the vertical shaft represents the higher; celestial states of being and the horizontal bar represents the lower; earthly states.
