An eternal classic--Cross * Cross, the principal symbol of the Christian religion, recalling the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the faith of Christians. In ceremonial usage, making a sign of the cross may be an act of profession of faith, a prayer, a dedication, or a benediction. *In contemporary Christianity, the cross is a symbol of the atonement and reminds Christians of God's love. It represents Jesus' victory over sin and death, since it is believed that through his death and resurrection he conquered death itself.
