The word “SWASTIKA” is derived from the Sanskrit word: “SVASTIKAH”, which means “Being Fortunate” Archaeological evidence of swastika-shaped ornaments dates from the Neolithic period. An ancient symbol, it occurs mainly in the cultures that are in modern day India and the surrounding area, sometimes as a geometrical motif (as in the Roman Republic and Empire) and sometimes as a religious symbol. In Christianity, the swastika is sometimes used as a hooked version of the Christian Cross, the symbol of Christ's victory over death There are even Jewish Swastikas found in ancient synagogues side-by-side with the Star of David (which is not too surprising considering that the Star of David was originally Hindu too). The Swastika was an early Christian symbol and is found in the catacombs in Rome. |
