Religious Bronze Mourning Angel Stood Before the Cross

Understanding cemetery crosses can help us understand the beliefs of our ancestors

Understanding cemetery crosses can help us understand the beliefs of our ancestors. It can sometimes even help us discover their heritage and country of origin. Many American genealogists have found through DNA testing that their lineage originated in Europe. European culture has a rich history of religious beliefs. Countless of our ancestors were Christians who saw the cross as a symbol of faith in Christ and hope for redemption. Even before Christians adopted the cross as a symbol, the Druids of ancient Celtic culture used the same symbol. The druid cut off limbs from the great oak tree, leaving only side branches so that the tree formed a living cross. The Grand Druid then climbs the tree trunk and writes the name of the spirit at the intersection of the trunk and the arm. So there are a lot of cemeteries with the sign of the cross. You can have a look at our mourning angel stood before the cross.

Angels found in cemeteries are symbols of spirituality

Angels represent the connection between heaven and earth, as well as strength, peace, faith, protection, and beauty. Angels can help families feel safe after losing a loved one, knowing that their loved one will always be protected. Throughout history, we have recognized angels because of their light, feathery wings and their religious connection to God. Different religions view angels differently, but angels are most often depicted as spiritual guardians. The incorporation of the angel image into the memorial has a unique and personal meaning for each person and brings peace to the families and friends who have lost loved ones. Angels found in cemeteries are symbols of spirituality. They guarded tombs and were believed to be messengers between God and man. Angels or “messengers of God” may appear in many different poses, each with its own unique meaning. An angel with open wings is thought to represent the soul flying to heaven. It can also show angels holding the dead in their arms as if leading or escorting them to heaven. The weeping angel symbolizes grief, especially mourning an untimely death. Angels with trumpets can depict the day of judgment. Two specific angels can often be identified by the tools they carry. Like Michael with his sword and Gabriel with her horn.
