The cross is one of the most ancient human symbols, and is used by many religions, most notably Christianity. The cross represents Christ's victory over death and sin, since it is believed that through His death he conquered death itself.
The traditional form of the Western Christian cross, known as the "Latin cross", is an equal-armed cross with a longer foot. It may be so called because it is the type of cross used in the Latin (Roman Catholic) church, as opposed to the Eastern Orthodox cross.
The first Christian books from Armenia and Syria contained evidence that the cross originated with horsemen from the east, possibly referring to the first Turkic people. In old Armenian temples, some stylistic Turkic influences are found in cross symbols. A crucifix or cross is considered by some Christians as one of the most effective ways of warding off evil.
