Swastika in Christianity




On the walls of the Christian catacombs in Rome, the symbol of the Swastika appears next to the words “ZOTIKO ZOTIKO” which means “Life of Life”. It can also be found on the window openings of the mysterious Lalibela Rock churches of Ethiopia, and in various other churches around the world.

The Swastika Problem: Symbol of peace or hate?

How and why did so many diverse countries and cultures, across many eras, use the same symbol and apparently with the same meaning?   
It is ironic, and unfortunate, that a symbol of life and eternity that was considered sacred for thousands of years has become a symbol of hatred.

Swastika Symbol in Bengal, a state in India



The swastika (in Bengali  เฆธ্เฆฌเฆธ্เฆคিเฆ•) is an important Bengali Hindu symbol used for every religious and auspicious ceremony. All religious items and spaces are sanctified with this symbol, which is traced using the middle finger and smearing red sindoor (red vermilion) paste. House entrances and doorways are decorated with this symbol and every space and item consecrated with this symbol for weddings, festivals and ceremonies. The symbol relates with the invocation of Shakti (the female energy).
