When the lines appear diagonally, the design is known as a saltire, though the arms do not always meet at right angles.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe cross is one of the most ancient and recognizable symbols in human history and is especially significant within Christianity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe word cross originates from the Latin word *crux*, the Roman instrument used for crucifixion. The term entered the English language in the 10th century to describe the instrument used in the execution of Jesus as recorded in the New Testament, eventually replacing the earlier English word *rood*.

The design may have originated from two crossed sticks used to mark a location, similar to Egyptian hieroglyphs.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eThe use of the cross as a Christian symbol dates back to the early centuries of Christianity.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMany variations of cross designs appeared during the age of the Crusades and were widely used in heraldry and religious art.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy around 200 A.D., the cross had become widely recognized as a symbol of Christian faith.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eToday, the cross remains the central symbol of Christianity and is used for prayer, devotion, and spiritual reflection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eHeight - 3.14 Inches \/ 8 cm\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIncludes Certificate of Origin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eMade in Israel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Peace Of God®","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46304417644743,"sku":null,"price":8.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/7793\/3165\/files\/IMG_0083_1.jpg?v=1773488760","url":"https:\/\/myseasidespa.com\/products\/handmade-olive-wood-wall-cross-christian-holy-land-cross-3-14","provider":"SeasideSPA","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
