The Greek Cross is a thicker cross with each arm having the same width all the way across. The American Red Cross uses the Greek Cross. If you look at the Anchor, you will see a cross in the image. The Anchor Cross is the symbol of the sailor. It is a symbol of hope. Finally, there is the Iron Cross. Originally is was a very high honor in the German Military. It was the symbol of triumph and courage. Much of the notoriety of this symbol came when Hitler re-established this honorary medal in WWI. It is really a shame that the decoration has a rather ominous symbolism these days. It really is a very beautiful cross. Well, now you have a ton of information about the different crosses and a bit of history on each. Before you get that Cross Tattoo, do a little research, think about what imagery you are trying to convey, find yourself a great tattoo artist, and go for it. Love a great Celtic tattoo on a beautiful shoulder. Beautiful. Peace always. Author: Olofsson Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/?expert=Susan_Olofsson |
