In the Christian liturgical calendar, there are several different feasts known as Feasts of the Cross, all of which commemorate the cross used in the crucifixion of Jesus. While Good Friday is dedicated to the Passion of Christ and the Crucifixion, these days celebrate the cross itself, as the instrument of salvation.
The cross ...

Talk about brand recognition.
hahahaha ... brilliant ;-)
question is though .... what else is recognised there?
peace ;-)
I find the image of a bloodied guy dragging this heavy piece of wood iconic, which I'm guessing is designed to make me feel guilty for something.
Supposedly he died for all our human sins. If you took all of the bad things that happen during an hour on this planet, getting nailed to a cross might cut it for that but unfortunately comes up short for anything more.
Now my everliving soul can enter heaven. Too bad for everyone born before that, because God was still doing test runs and some of that early data was unfortunately lost to the everlasting fires of hell (are they carbon neutral?).
If anyone could tell me what they'd actually DO in heaven that'd be a first. Everyone just assumes it'll be awesome beyond imagining so it's okay if you can't imagine anything at all.
Probably you'll work shifts putting stamps on missionary letters.
Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
You should watch some Bill Hicks, he compares it to walking up to Jackie O with a rifle bullet pendant. Do you think Jesus ever wants to see a cross again?
I think guilt is a major factor in this. That is their power.
What i was actually thinking about with this post, was the cross. And how it predates christianity.
It's astrological, origionaly. I'm planning a post on that soon, but just like the swatica, there is very little under the sun that is new.
peace and love
