The cross is a pagan symbol that was adored in many pagan religions thousands of years before Jesus was born.
The Catholic Church adopted the cross symbol at least 600 years after Jesus was supposedly crucified.
One of the early famous Christians named "Tertullian" rejected the crosses and said that pagans worshipped crucified saviors hanging on a cross.
He says "Crosses, moreover, we Christians neither venerate nor wish for. You indeed who consecrate gods of wood venerate wooden crosses, perhaps as parts of your gods. For your very standards, as well as your banners, and flags of your camps, what are they but crosses gilded and adorned? Your victorious trophies not only imitate the appearance of a simple cross,but also that of a man affixed to it." [www.biblestudy.churches.net/CCEL/FATHERS2/ANF04/ANF0434.HTM]
Origins of the Cross (All of it predates the birth of Jesus)
The pagan Scandinavians had cross is called the Tau cross which symbolizes the god Thor.
Ancient Egyptians also considered it as markers of life and death. The Egyptian cross also symbolizes Isis and Osiris myth, and their union which allowed creation.
Crosses also were parts of the Assyrians and Babylonians pagan religions.
Assyrians used it to symbolize the shining sun (in four directions), and Babylonians as symbol of the moon deity.
Another cross has been unearthed in Ireland. It belongs to the cult of the Persian god of the sun "Mithra"and bears a crucified effigy.
The Greeks and Romans too adopted the cross as their religious symbol many centuries before Christianity did the same.
Not only the cross symbol was part of the Pagan religion but also the idea of crucifixion for the salvation of mankind myths itself was commonly adopted long time before the birth Jesus.
