Is the Cross a sacred symbol anymore or has it become secular. I noticed something the other day, I see the cross a religious symbol in several places where it does not have religious meaning. I thought about it gangster rap music videos with big glittering diamond crosses, German iron-cross belt buckles worn by self proclaimed atheists. I think to myself, how do people not notice t he symbolism and bash the idea of religion while wearing such as symbol. I remember a few female friends who wear crosses around their neck despite being nonreligious to which they simply respond “ I Just like it” or my family gave it to me. It’s even on the flags of several countries. Has the cross leant honor and pride to entirely secular ideas and endeavors? I believe it has. In many situations it is purely religious, aka in front of a church. However, I feel many people overlook items in every day society that are in actuality crucifixes or based upon them at the least.
