This is a Christian
border theme page featuring
the three crosses
on the mount. The Christian cross is the best-known religious
symbol of Christianity. It is generally seen as a representation
of the crucifixion of Jesus. In the Christian Bible it says that
Jesus was crucified between two criminals, thus the symbol of three
crosses is a common symbol in Christianity.

During the first
two centuries of Christianity, the cross may have been rare in
Christian iconography, as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome
method of public execution. The Ichthys, or fish symbol, was used
by early Christians. The Chi-Rho monogram, which was adopted by
Constantine I in the fourth century as his banner, was another Early
Christian symbol of wide use.
The cross as a
Christian symbol or "seal" came into use at least as early as the
second century and the marking of a cross upon the forehead and the
chest was regarded as a talisman against the powers of demons.
In Christendom the cross reminds Christians of God's act of love and atonement in Christ's sacrifice at Calvary - "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world."
The cross also reminds Christians of Jesus' victory over sin and death,
since it is believed that through His death and resurrection He
conquered death itself.
The cross is
often shown in different shapes and sizes, in many different styles. It
may be used in personal jewelry, or used on top of church buildings.
It is shown both empty, and with the body of Christ (corpus)
nailed to it, in which case it is typically called a crucifix.
Font
