Romantic Crosses
From the Latin Romanicus. the word 'romance' is a decorated expression of love. It is a word whose meaning has nicely been twisted over the years from medieval love stories that had some heroic or adventurous theme, with a Latin background.
This page includes neither the Roman Cross nor the Passion Cross. Rather, it features symbols that have evolved from the perceptions of life and values in ancient Rome, and from the original meaning of passion.
