THE SIDEWAYS CROSS

Sideways?

A growing trend that I’ve been seeing in the jewelry industry, is the sideways cross.

I actually had a bunch of women in during christmastime that ordered one. It’s cool.

What is the Sideways Cross?

Simply put, it is a cross. A normal Latin cross that’s been turned horizontal (Instead of the normal vertical).

It’s rather interesting to look at, and it makes you take a second glance.

But what is the significance?

Well, a lot of people in the stores say it’s just a designer’s preference. A style. A statement. Something unique and different, that’s all.

But others say there’s a more deeper meaning…

They say that it’s a token of Jesus’ finished work. Salvation. After all, he did lay down his cross for mankind.

Others say that it’s in reference to the Nordic cross. Scandinavian countries show the cross sideways on their flag.

Some also say that it’s a portrayal of the earth and life itself. Humanity.

Still, some do say that’s it’s a darker image, one of a fallen cross and failed Christianity.

So the sideways cross can really be whatever you want it to be. After all, we all have our own diverse opinions and view points.

Some will find them offensive, others will respect them and regard them as sacred.

It’s all in what you believe.

Plus, you can also get sideways crosses in rings and bracelets as well.
