About this book
The Cross in Ritual, Architecture, and Art is by the Rev. Geo. S. Tyack, B.A. The preface says the aim is to deal in a popular way with the manifold uses of the Cross as the symbol of the Christian Faith.
The text quotes Tertullian, writing in the second century: in whatever occupation we are engaged, we imprint our foreheads with the sign of the Cross. The text says the faithful contented themselves with a mere suggestion of the sign, such as the combined X and P, the first two letters of the name of Christ in Greek. The text says the pillar of the cross now standing is the same as that named in the earliest historical notices of the structure, perhaps even the very one that was first set up.
