History

The cross has its origin as a symbol of death and torture. The Roman Empire popularized the use of the cross in crucifixions. It came to be associated with the Christian faith because Jesus Christ was crucified by the Romans in the 1^st century AD. By the 2^nd century AD, the Romans continued with an anti-Christian campaign within the empire and used the cross in anti-Christian symbolism. At the same time, many early Christians began to adopt the symbol as an emblem of the faith based on their saviors death upon the cross.
