xa cross is where Jesus was crucified and the cross is the one that Jesus carried before he was crucified. Pagan Phallic symbol of fertility. The symbol of Phallic worship, the cross, has become the emblem of Christianity. I quote again from our English authoress: "We find the cross in India, Egypt, Tibet, Japan, always as the sign of life-giving power, it was worn as an amulet by girls and women, and seems to have been specially worn by the women attached to the temples [sacred prostitutes], as a symbol of what was, to them, a religious calling. The cross is, in fact, nothing but the refined phallus, and in the Christian religion is a significant emblem of its pagan origin; it was adored, carved in temples, and worn as a sacred emblem by sun and nature worshipers, long before there were any Christians to adore, carve, and wear it. The crowd kneeling before the cross in Roman Catholic and in High Anglican churches is a simple reproduction of the crowd who knelt before it in the temples of ancient days, and the girls who wear it amongst ourselves are -- in the most innocent unconsciousness of its real significance -- exactly copying the Indian and Egyptian women of an elder time." see link on left "The Christ; Chapter 10."

Catholic churches will have a bowl or font of holy water near the entrance, into which followers dip their fingers to perform the sign of the cross. Inside the church will be pictures and statues of saints, with provision for the faithful to pray in front of the statues. There should be a large crucifix - a cross, with a likeness of the crucified Jesus on it. Modern Catholic churches have confessionals - small cubicles which the faithful can enter and confess sins in private to a priest. Anglican churches can be 'low' church or 'high' church. The Anglican low church would have no pictures of saints or crucifixes inside, whereas Anglican high churches would probably have at least a crucifix.
