The cross was made in various shapes according to the age and region; the Ankh cross used in ancient Egypt, the Celtic cross derived from the ceremonies of worshiping the sun god of the Celts, the Latin cross commonly used in the Western churches, and the swastika cross that was used as a Nazi insignia during World War II. Catholic churches have many types of crosses. The Catholic Encyclopedia introduces 40 different kinds of crosses in one page. If it was only to represent the sacrifice of Jesus Christ without pagan influence, there should be one kind of cross in the church. The fact that there are many kinds of crosses in the church can be interpreted as that the crosses were made under the influence of various pagan religions. | The cross was made in various shapes according to the age and region; the Ankh cross used in ancient Egypt, the Celtic cross derived from the ceremonies of worshiping the sun god of the Celts, the Latin cross commonly used in the Western churches, and the swastika cross that was used as a Nazi insignia during World War II.
