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.
How to Clean your Silver Cross
Cleaning silver is simple. You can wipe your cross with silver polish and a polishing cloth or gently brush it with warm water, mild dish soap and a soft toothbrush. A toothbrush with soap is a good option for occasional deep cleanings, but wiping with a polishing cloth is best for regular cleanings because it’s gentler.
