The History of the Cross

The Christian cross is one of the most recognized religious symbol s in Christianity. Its importance stems from the belief that Jesus Christ was executed on a large wooden cross. In the New Testament it is identified that Christ's death was through crucifixion, which involved being tied or nailed to the cross and left to perish. This painful method of execution was common for slaves and non-Romans convicted of serious crimes in the Roman Empire at that time.

During the first three centuries of Christianity, the cross was very rare in Christian because of its negative depiction. It was portrayed as a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution by impalement on Jesus Christ. But in Clement of Alexandria's unfinished Stromateis or 'Miscellanies' (book VI): he speaks of the Cross as tou Kuriakou semeiou tupon , i.e. "the symbol of the Lord. His contemporary Tertullian could designate the body of Christian believers as crucis religiosi , i.e. "devotees of the Cross" ( Apol ., chapter xvi).
