The Christian Cross

The Cross 

captured somewhere on my travels in Wyoming

The Christian cross 

is the main symbol of the Christian religion. 

These crosses are usually found on Christian churches.

Jesus, who Christians believe is God the Son and their messiah, was crucified (nailed to a large wooden cross). This was a commonly used method for killing people in Roman times.

Christians believe that Jesus' death made the sins of all humans who trust in him, go away, and that they are forgiven. They also believe that Jesus was resurrected (came back to life) after three days. Because of this, the cross is a symbol for Jesus' sacrifice and suffering, but also a symbol of hope, forgiveness of sins, and victory over death.

There are several different Christian crosses that are symbols for different Christian groups or persons.

A cross with the body of Jesus on it is called a Crucifix.

The empty cross is usually favored by Protestants, and the symbol reminds them of the resurrection of Jesus, while the crucifix is favored by Catholic and Orthodox churches and is a reminder of Christ's sacrifice.

The three great elemental sounds in nature...

Hi my friends,

Thank you so much for ALL the wonderful comments and compliments to my post from yesterday! This photos above was made on the same spot at Cocoa Beach - but with a sight to the right side, where it was not that crowded at all. People here enjoyed more the silence, they preferred not to sit in a crowd of tourists.

I have something great to share with you and something what I'm very proud of it:
