Double Crescent Cross

A puzzling symbol which we don't feel too confident about. Opinions welcome!



Double Crescent Cross


Double Crescent Cross

A Double Crescent Cross is frequently seen in jewelry where two crescents form a cross.

Somebody kindly sent us the photo (right) of necklace from India. We are not sure what the Indian connection might be. A crescent moon is a relatively minor feature in Hindu art - more significant in Islam, but only about 13% of Indians are Muslim.

In a Christian context, such a symbol could represent two nails that have bent from being extracted from the cross.

Waxing and waning moons are common in Pagan wicca and the occult - something we don't even attempt to skim on this website.

We would be interested to hear anyone's views on other possible meanings. Please send comments to info@seiyaku.com.
