Hence it is called as Bent Cross.

We also had a significant Jewish population till Israel was created, when these Jews emigrated there. Now we have very few Jews left here. Zoroastrians of course, have existed here for very long and have contributed significantly towards the development of modern India.<br /><br />Visiting the shrines of faiths other than our own and celebrating the festivals of different faiths together is a special characteristics of Indian religiosity. It is not considered good behaviour if one doesn't like to visit the shrines of other faiths and doesn't celebrate the festivals of other religions, or doesn't make an effort to include the people from other faiths in one's own celebrations.<br /><br />But why the "bent cross?" Is it a reference to the narrative of Jesus Christ's crucifixion, when he fell three times while carrying his cross? I noticed the icon on top of the building where the lamb is carrying a cross.Archanahttp://archanablogging.wordpress.com/2011/02/08/saindhavi/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-47052538182909878462011-02-10T22:02:12.973+05:302011-02-10T22:02:12.973+05:30SKM, Long time, no see! busy with studies? work we...SKM, Long time, no see! busy with studies? work well.chitrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11162975193030085486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4469680352958652051.post-13848672221904104392011-02-10T09:20:42.700+05:302011-02-10T09:20:42.700+05:30Interesting!!!
