This week’s photo challenge: Symbol
The French maritime cross symbolizes faith, love, and hope. In Montana, the mountains are our sea. God hasn’t forsaken us. Turn the anchor upside down and it becomes a peaked mountain.
This week’s photo challenge: Symbol
The French maritime cross symbolizes faith, love, and hope. In Montana, the mountains are our sea. God hasn’t forsaken us. Turn the anchor upside down and it becomes a peaked mountain.
The Camargue cross is an emblem formed with a Latin cross whose upper ends represent a three-pronged fork ( a working tool used by “gardians” (cowboys) ) and whose lower end is a sea anchor topped by a heart.
It stands for the three cardinal virtues :
• The cross for faith
• The anchor for hope
• The heart for charity
The Camargue cross was created by the painter and sculptor Hermann Paul in 1924 at Saintes Maries de la Mer, France.
