A cross is a geometrical figure consisting of two lines or bars intersecting each other at a 90? angle, dividing one or two of the lines in half. The lines usually run vertically and horizontally; if they run diagonally, the design is technically termed a saltire. The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and is used by many religions, most notably Christianity. It is frequently a representation of the division of the world into four elements (or cardinal points), or alternately as the union of the concepts of godhead/divinity (the vertical line) and the world/Earth (the horizontal line) .
