Jesus probably died on a stake. The Romans crucifed
1000s and didn't make crosses. But Constantine had a
vision of the cross, and used it on his banners and shields
in battle.
Did you know the cross symbol is an adaptation to the
equal sided cross which symbolizes the four directions?
The longer stem giving it a more human appearing form?
Symbology is the Universal language.

This is one of those feel good stoies the "church" told its followers in order to convert them.
Constantine was never a christian till the last moments fo his life when he converted on his death bed.( nothing like hedging your bets)
he was a practitioner of SUN worship ( not Son) and he followed the Mithraic traditions of SOL INVINCTUS the sun god.
He was a pagan through and through , just like the the biggest con to fool humanity was founded
the symbol of the cross preceeds Roman times and can be found on ancient Eygyptian heiroglyphs.....who happen to be ............... sun worshippers.!!!!!!!!

He was a pagan and a politician...I trust pagans further than politicians...He just called himself a Christian to rule the christian hoards easier.
