I was at an old oriental grave yard today and saw some backwards swastickas on the gravestone what are they?

Answer 1

symbol for life. The nazi's stole their symbol, among many other things

Answer 2

once you die your loved ones purchases a hire (frequently 50 to a hundred years) on the grave so whilst that hire expires, if there's no person around to resume then the grave and the land lodges back to the community authority. in the event that they arrive to a type to construct on a graveyard the bodies are bumped off in many circumstances to the linked church's crypt. because of the fact the skeletons would be very old and unclaimed for, likelihood is they are all bundled into the crypt at the same time so the probabilities of you looking 'fits' products because it have been is amazingly no longer likely. The headstones are in many circumstances destroyed in spite of the indisputable fact that your community authority in the Births, Marriages and Deaths branch could be waiting to tell you lots better than a gravestone

Answer 3

The swastika (from Sanskrit स्वस्तिक svastika) is an equilateral cross with its arms bent at right angles in either left-facing (卍) or right-facing (卐) direction. The swastika is a holy symbol in Hinduism, Jainism and Buddhism. In the West, it is most widely known and used as a symbol of Nazism (the Hakenkreuz). It is traditionally oriented so that a main line is horizontal, though it is occasionally rotated at forty-five degrees. The Hindu version is often decorated with a dot in each quadrant.
