Xinjiang Hotan Mutton Fat White Jade Cross

The meaning of the cross is "redemption and salvation", and it is also the core of the entire Christian (including Catholicism, hereafter collectively referred to as Christian faith) culture. In the Roman era of the first century, the cross was actually an extremely cruel instrument of death penalty. At that time, the Roman government would first let the most evil felons be flogged, and then be forced to carry a cross weighing 90 to 136 kilograms through the city. Finally, the prisoner would be stripped naked, his arms opened, and his arms nailed to a crossbar. His legs were crossed and nailed to a vertical pillar, leaving him struggling in humiliation, pain and breathlessness.
