Christian cross

represents spiritual authority and religion. It is a Christian iconography. According to Humanistic Tradition, “Christian signs and symbols linked the visible to the invisible world…since in Christian art the symbolic significance of a representation is often more important than its literal meaning” (Fiero, 204). Christian iconography represents a religious belief. Indeed, Christian iconography is the symbol that shows religious spirit of Christian in Medieval Europe (McMillan, Middle Age). It is a

The most recognized symbol is the cross, the implement of the salvation. William Penn said, “No pain, no palm; no thorns, no throne; no gall, no glory; no cross, no crown.” In Matthew 10:39 Jesus also stated, “He that findeth his life shall lose it; and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it.” Jesus’s crucifixion on the cross made the cross become one of the most influential symbols of Christianity for its victory over sin and death. The Christian cross comes in many different forms. According

carry my cross necklace around my neck. I wonder what people might think it is. Personally, I believe the thing I carry around my neck is just a fashion statement that is perceived by many people because it is shiny and looks very nice. The thing I carry is not only just a symbol but a lifestyle that I wear it with a sense of humility. I know the thing I carry was carried by me because I know who carried it first. It was Christ who carried the cross, but here I am carrying a metal cross around my

I very disciplined. My life basically centered around video games with friends and sports. I participated multiple sports such as cross country, nordic skiing, baseball, and track. As I grew older I naturally became more confident, disciplined, and outspoken but not as much as I would've like to have been. In junior high, I looked up to the varsity runners on the cross country team. It was a goal of mine to be on that team and to do well, I never thought it would actually happen. In my senior year

Crispin’s identity is something that he struggles with throughout the book. At the beginning of the book, his name is Asta’s son since he lives with his mother and never knew his father. He grew up with no personal name and little dignity because he and his mother were so poor. Later, he becomes the servant of Bear and finds out he is the son of Lord Furnival, the Lord of his small village and various others throughout England. Simply because of the fact he is Lord Furnival’s son, he is sought to

Crispin goes to the village priest and finds out that he has been declared a "wolf's head", which means that anyone can kill him as if he is a wild animal. The priest gives Crispin a cross of lead that his mother owned. He tells Crispin that his mother could read and write, and that she wrote the words on the cross. He then tells Crispin that he must flee the village and head for a city. He will meet Crispin that night and give him more information about his father and mother. Crispin takes this

Furthermore, the beauty of the relationship is shown by contrasting the shame that the Wanderer feels at the end of the poem to the honour and glory that is thrown upon the cross after it willingly suffers along with Christ. In all, the ideals of the comitatus during the Medieval Times are clearly advocated through the illustration of the physical intimacy, shame and honour involved in the two poems. To start off, the two

he knows it is for the benefit of all mankind. In the poem, the rood, or cross, is depicted as the individual telling the story of the crucifixion. The poet writes the story so it is understood that the cross is, like Jesus, a warrior. If the cross can tell a tale it is assumed that it would possess the ability to experience feelings. By explaining the cross’ experience in the way the poet does it is easy to see how the cross possesses warrior-like characteristics. I trembled when the man embraced

more commonly known as the Southern Cross, its name being Latin for cross. Although it was seen by the Ancient Greeks, it was known to be part of the constellation Centaurus. The stars that make up the cross are: Alpha Crucis, Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon. Quite a few of the constellation’s brighter stars are also members of the Centaurus / Scorpios association. The reason I chose this constellation is because of its significance to my country. The Southern Cross is on the national flag, and I have
