    The cross is no longer exposed to sun or rain, so the change in hue when it encounters sun or rain can no longer be experienced. Originally, part of the lower section of the cross would have been buried in the earth, which would have reinforced the Christian idea that a cross acts a bridge between the earth and the spiritual world (heaven and God) . When the cross was moved inside, it was lifted so the entire cross can be seen. While this is helpful for those who want to be able to see and experience the entire cross, it does remove part of the original…

Religious symbols used by Christians have been used to express ideals and beliefs since the pagan era from 849. Pagans used symbols not only because it was a work of art but because their followers were illiterate and symbols were used to educate their followers. The same symbols that were used during the Pagan era are some of the same symbols used today, however in today society religious symbols are used to identify different religions and affiliations with religious organizations.
