The inverted cross is a rather ambiguous symbol. On the one hand, this is a sign of the sword as a fighting Christian force, and on the other hand, humility with Jesus Christ (in the understanding of Catholics). In addition, this is a symbol of one of the saints - the Apostle Peter, who was crucified on it during the reign of Emperor Neuron, who did not recognize any Christian ideas.
Why the Apostle Peter?
Why do you think Peter was crucified on an inverted cross? It happened of his own accord! The fact is that the future saint himself chose such an "instrument of execution", because he considered himself unworthy to die like Jesus. This was a kind of repentance of Peter for his threefold denial of Christ the Savior.
What does the inverted cross mean?
He adopted his official meaning in Catholic symbols. He is depicted on the throne of the Pope. Today, this causes a rather ambiguous judgment and assessment. In addition, the inverted cross belongs tothe ancient god of the sun Apollo and the Scandinavian god of storm and thunder Thor. However, this symbol acquired its most common meaning, of course, from Satanists.
Symbol of Satanism
In general, Satanism is certain beliefs and worldviews, interpreted through the power and freedom of the greatest devil of all time - Satan. Attributes of the followers of Lucifer: fire, snakes, wolves, cats, goats and connection with the underworld. Visually, Satanists have one most distinctive symbol, the inverted cross. This is a kind of hatred and mockery of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. Almost all adherents of Satan wear it in the form of a pendant around the neck. This sign is even present in the music albums of famous foreign artists.
You may ask why the inverted cross is the symbol of Satanists? Everything is simple! The fact is that the Latin cross has four endings: God the Father is the top, God the Son and God the Spirit are two lateral endings and the fourth (lower) is Satan. Accordingly, if you turn the Latin cross over, then you can ex alt Lucifer above the entire Holy Trinity, which is what his adherents, Satanists, do. That is why such a cross has become the permanent symbol of the Antichrist.
Symbol of magic
As mentioned above, this cross is a symbol of the death of the holy Apostle Peter. Unfortunately, today this symbol does not at all mean humility and repentance before Jesus Christ … In our age, various subcultures flourish, to which there is no waywords such as "virtue", "repentance", "humility" cannot be used. The inverted cross they use is a serious challenge to Christianity. Images of an inverted cross are often accompanied by certain magical rites.
Cross is a fetish of our time?
Today, Orthodox or Satanic crosses are objects of religious and anti-Christian veneration. However, turning to the origins of Christianity, one can find out that Jesus himself and his disciple (for example, Levi Matthew) did not honor crosses at all, did not use the signs of the cross. The fact is that earlier Christians did not objectify anything at all and, moreover, did not need any symbols! Their hallmark was … love for all people. And Christ said to his disciples: "Love one another as I love all of you…"
