Talk about symbols: Many of us see them but not a handful can tell what a single one means. Ask a Christian what the sign of the cross stands for and only a few have a clue and even fewer can explain it satisfactorily. It\u2019s not like we are ignorant; some of the symbols actually have very hidden meanings. You are not in any way bound to know the meanings of all, in fact, you are not bound at all to know the meaning of any single religious symbol if it adds nothing to your life.\u00a0For those who would love to know about some of the untold mysteries, here is a collection of 10 freakish religious symbols and meanings<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">10 Most Used Religious Symbols and Meanings<\/span><\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">1. The Crescent and the Star &#8211; Islam<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">This symbol was initially used by the natives of Asia and Siberia as a symbol of the gods of the Skies. It was later adopted by the Ottoman Empire and eventually Islam as a whole around 1453 when the Turks took control of Constantinople. In this city, Constantinople, the symbol was used in reference to the Goddess Diana. When the Turks came in and took over, they stole this symbol as well as the flag of Constantinople and claimed both to Islam.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1070\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1070\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1070\" style=\"border: 1px solid black;\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-1022x1024.png\" alt=\"The Crescent and the star - religious symbols and meanings\" width=\"1024\" height=\"1026\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-1022x1024.png 1022w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-150x150.png 150w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-300x300.png 300w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-160x160.png 160w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-240x240.png 240w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-60x60.png 60w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star-184x184.png 184w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Crescent-and-the-star.png 1270w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1070\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">teddysts.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. The Ichthys &#8211; Christianity<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ichthys is actually the Greek word for fish and contains the Greek letters IX(-)Y\u03a3 which translates to \u201cJesus Christ, God\u2019s Son, Saviour.\u201d But why fish? Well, first of all, most of Jesus Christ\u2019s apostles were actually fishermen. Secondly, Jesus performed a number of miracles with fish. And finally, the message in Mathew 4:19 says, \u201cCome, follow me and I will make you fishers of men.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Ichthys.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1071\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Ichthys.jpg\" alt=\"The Ichthys\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Ichthys.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-Ichthys-300x225.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. The Cross &#8211; Christianity<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Another popular symbol in the Christian faith is the cross. Indeed, this symbol is so popular that almost all Christians carry it on one accessory or the other. The cross generally symbolizes the crucifixion of Jesus on the cross. The cross could come plain or as a crucifix with Jesus Christ nailed on it, a crown of thorns over his head and the Latin letters INRI which means \u201cJesus the Nazarene, King of the Jews\u201d on the top end of the cross.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1072\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1072\" style=\"width: 1024px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-cross.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-1072\" src=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-cross-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"Llanddwyn Isle Cross - religious symbols and meanings\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" srcset=\"https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-cross-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-cross-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/buzzsouthafrica.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/The-cross.jpg 1280w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1072\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">cyberbrethren.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\">4.
