Praise the Lord . Like you say the cross symbolize multiple meaning and beliefs.
ReplyDeleteThat’s a good observation. I actually do see a lot of people who wear jewelry with a cross, have a tattoo of a cross or keep one on the wall of their home. I read another student’s post who wrote about how the flag of her country symbolizes her patriotism. It is a similar concept in the way that the cross represents the sacrifice of Jesus Christ and the strong faith of Christians.
