The plough, crown, chariot, star, fish, palm: all forgotten or misunderstood Christian symbols. Did you know that the Cross itself was originally used not as an allusion to the Passion of Christ, but as a means of designating his Divine glory? Or even that the 12 Apostles were assimilated into the symbolism of the Zodiac?
