When examining the symbolisom of the cross, one must not over look it's historical signifigance. As a Roman means of torture and humiliation it takes on aditional signifigance as a
deturant to anything other than the "modes operendem". In this light ,the symbolism of the cross and its Christian heritage may be seen not only as a bridge between life and death, but also as a life affirming commitment to being open to God;s will for change.
