Sometimes I see an old Christian symbol of a cross with a snake drapes over it or wrapped around it. Do you know what the meaning of this symbol is? Here is one example: [ link to gnosticwarrior.com] Just my curiosity. Thanks in advance for any answers. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 44213285 It might be another meaning, or the original, but in the bible Moses put a snake on a staff and the people looked to it to be cured. It ties together Old and New Testament as Jesus died on the cross for our sins and healing. Quoting: Mayhemx This. I've seen depictions of Moses holding that snake and cross symbol. One painting in particular was really bad ass looking. I wish I could find it again.
