SWASTIKA

This equilateral cross with bad fame in Europe, was in fact one ancient icon of the prosperity and luck. It was used in many civilizations all over the globe. Its origins comes from Indus and thus it was widely used in Indian religions. But also has been used in Asia, and even the romans used widely this cross in their arts, as we can see on this mosaic. Unfortunatelly from 1.920 when it was used as a symbol of the nazy party in Europe, the meaning changed to hatred or antisemitism. But sometimes we must think in the origins of this symbol and what it was... a meaning of "good things", despite this symbol nowadays is not welcome in some parts.
