The Sun Cross is a symbol in the shape of a rectangular cross inside a circle. It is likely the oldest and one of the most widely used symbols in Western civilization. In its earliest form, it depicted the journey of the Sun through the seasons. Christianity adapted this pagan symbol among its own symbols (the Roman Catholic cross) around the 2nd to 3rd century AD.
