[quote:Pollyannuh 0:MV83ODY5N18yNjM0MjMwX0E4MUE1MEVE] You said: >>"Yes, but why form the "X"? Does the first finger defeat or overcome the middle finger? What does it symbolize? If it was the trinity, does it imply the blending or entwining of the two strands? For the trinity to become a double form? That two of the trinity unite and become one? Is this the alchemical wedding?"<< Sometimes I think we read more into a painting, situation or event, than is warranted. MHO, only. If you hold your hand in the form of that blessing, the hand "feels" as though it is in a relaxed and normal position. To recap, in the Roman Catholic Church, the first finger (index) and middle fingers are raised with the thumb just slightly extended, and the Greek Orthodox use the index, middle, and ring fingers. What you see as an x is only the angle from which the artist is portraying His Hand. The fingers are, in actuality, close to upright. [/quote]

I give up. Iīve noticed that hand sign that Jesus is always making in the paintings of Him. It seems all sorts of artists draw him this way also. So do they all know something we donīt?
Remember the "Hook,īem" sign that Bush gives? I alluded to the fact that it was really two Līs slapped together. Like the mirror image of a Knightīs move. But in pictures of Jesus:

He has his thumb out and first finger upright and crossed over his middle finger. No pinkie up. Pinkie and third finger facing down. So itīs an "L" (Knight move) but the fingers are entwined. What does this mean?
I know another so-called Satanic sign is to have your middle finger up in the air. In the sign Jesus makes, He seems to be putting the first finger OVER this middle finger. I suppose you could say he forms an "X."
So what the heck is this sign?
