Millions of Christians around the world use the sign of the cross-and have done so for centuries-as a gesture of blessing. It is practiced when alone, during worship, before sleep, upon waking, before eating, before travel, and many other times throughout the day. But, what does it mean? Where did it originate? What did the sign of the cross mean to the first Christians, and how has this simple movement of the hand evolved over the centuries?
Now, a young Greek scholar Andreas Andreopoulos explains the tremendous meaning, mystery, and history of this dramatic gesture shared by Christian worldwide. This readable account will fascinate and inspire all who desire to know more about the inherited spiritual practices of everyday life.
