The Symbolism of the Cross and the Mandala

Although Jesus was crucified on a cross, this video explores the mystic symbolism of the cross in general and how it relates to the Mandala. The general symbolism of the cross in its various forms is ancient and has nothing to do with crucifixion. It was used by the Celts, the Picts, the Aztecs, the Egyptians and Hindus, as well as many other ancient civilisations.
