Nowadays, a cross in a circle is just a common decoration on the walls of buildings and fences. It's called a decorative lattice. And it's truly beautiful, and most recognize it as its sole meaning. Few know or realize that this symbolism is a cargo cult (an imitation of something else). Even this has been forgotten, let alone the original meaning.
Unfortunately, in modern society, knowledge is fragmented, and many objects and symbols of the past undergo this "evolutionary path," in quotation marks. First, they are given a single purpose, then they become elements of a cargo cult, and then they acquire a new meaning, which becomes their sole meaning. There are countless examples, but we won't try to cover everything. Today, we'll just talk about the cross within a circle, especially since we've long promised to reveal its secret.
Nowadays, the cross within a circle is mostly used simply as a beautiful symbol, for tattoos or pendants, or to decorate buildings or fences. Crafted to a high professional standard, they evoke admiration for the skill of modern artists and blacksmiths. But somewhere, on a subconscious level, people understand that this is not an ordinary symbol, but something much more. But we won't belabor the point—we're not a religion. We'll try to understand this issue from a scientific perspective, taking into account various aspects.
So, the cross within a circle has several meanings and significances: religious—Christian and pagan—as well as practical—scientific and industrial. First, let's examine all the meanings that various modern scholars, both official and alternative, ascribe to this symbol. It's not hard to guess that all of these meanings are, in one way or another, religious. 00:00 Introduction
