The inverted cross is rather ambiguoussymbol. On the one hand, it is a sign of the sword as a fighting Christian force, and on the other - humility with Jesus Christ (in the understanding of Catholics). In addition, it is the 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?
Как вы думаете, почему Петра распяли именно на an inverted cross? It happened at his own will!
