Nordic Meaning

In Nordic countries, the sideways cross is referred to as the Nordic Cross. It is found on the flags of Norway, Sweden, and Denmark, and originated 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. It is believed 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 Christianity, with the Sideways Cross Bracelet.

Religious Meaning

Many people consider the sideways cross to be a symbol of Jesus achieving salvation of his people. When his work was finished, the cross had been laid down, and he no longer had to carry the weight of the cross. Others believe that the cross symbolizes one's choice to accept God and his teachings. Some also 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.
