The sun, found at the top of the cross, is a symbol commonly found throughout Christianity.  While the sun, literally, provides light for the earth, the sun in Christianity represents Jesus as “the light” and the “Sun of Righteousness.” As the sun, he is the light that guides and enlightens.   In English, this connection between Christ and the sun can be seen as sort of a play on words – the “son” of God and the “sun” in the sky.
