peoples of the Roman Empire had various deities, but as a rule, a sun god, a
goddess of moon and a goddess of morning star (Venus) were considered the
supreme. The temples to these deities were always decorated with special
attentiveness ...
«Oh, all
these pagans have such beautiful ornaments, I want such too! I can adopt all
these ornaments with crosses, and let the parishioners think, that it is somehow
connected with the crucifixion of Jesus»,
- the beauty was delighted with her quick-wittedness. The
information:
the cross, as the symbol, was widely submitted in religious monuments of the
before-Christian era. The cross with the lengthened bottom part (Latin) among
other subjects was an attribute of Apollo,
the sun god and it appeared on ancient coins. Besides that a cross specified the
date of death in genealogical books and on tomb monuments long before the
beginning of our era. In Babylon the cross with equal sides was one of the
attributes of the god of heavens Anu; as the symbol of well-being such cross was
represented on the totems of the Inks; as the symbol of life and the attribute
of the sun god Amon was known in Egypt. In Scandinavia the druidical cross Tao
in the form of the letter "T" was used, which symbolized the hammer of
the god Tor. The cross Tao with the form of a tear inverted upwards, established
on the top of the cross, was the symbol of the Egyptian goddess of truth Maat
and also represented the sexual union of Isis and Osiris*. The Christians
accepted the cross as the symbol of Christianity in the 4th – 5th
centuries. In the beginning it was a cross with equal sides without the image of
Jesus. The first crucifixion scenes didn't appear in Christian art until the 7th
century CE. ** The
cross in the circle called a solar wheel, and often had 4 or 8 ends (seldom -
16). Everywhere in all
ancient religions 4 or 8 spokes wheel represented solar deities. These are the
Satan’s symbols.
In Egypt the wheel with wings symbolized Horus, later in Samaria people began to
add a tail to the wheel with wings for a designation of the sun god
Utu. In the Assyrian Empire the cross in the wheel was one of the attributes of the god Assur. The cross with 4 bunches of outgoing wavy beams was the symbol of the Semitic sun god Shamash. ---------------------------------------------------------- **J.C.
