different interpretations of the meaning behind this growing rapid jewelry trend. At My Name Necklace discover a vast collection of sideways
cross
jewelry including necklaces that will allow you to carry a powerful symbol and make a statement.
NORDIC MEANING
In Nordic countries, the sideways cross is referred to as the Nordic Cross, popularly found on the
flags
of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, originating in Denmark. Legend says that the flag was given to
Denmark
in 1219. During the battle of Lyndanisse, it was rumored that the flag fell from the sky. Many
believe
that the flag was a sign from God in favor of the Danish forces, who later won the battle. Wear this
symbol of honor, patriotism and of course Christianity, with the Sideways Cross Bracelet; just
the
right piece to match with your everyday wardrobe and makes for a timeless accessory.
RELIGIOUS MEANING
Many individuals look at the sideways cross as a symbol of Jesus achieving salvation of his people.
When
his work is finished, the cross had been laid down, and he no longer had to carry the weight of the
cross. Some individuals believe that it symbolizes one’s choice to accept God and His teachings,
while
others believe it is a symbol of earth lying between Heaven and Hell, representing the struggle of
humanity to live according to the word of God. Carry a spiritual yet chic piece with the Side Cross Necklace in Sterling
Silver, a contemporary twist to the classic cross necklace.
A FASHION TREND
To some, the sideways cross is simply a fashion trend. The upright cross has been a trend used in
fashion
for many, many years, while the sideways cross is a rather new trend over the past few years that is
now
taking over the jewelry world by storm. Spotted amongst many celebrities, the sideways cross is a
sacred, stylish piece to wear. The 18K Gold Plated Silver Engraved Side Cross Necklace makes for a
bold
statement and can be customized with a name or words of significant importance, for a meaningful
