How to Draw a Great Looking Cross with Wings for Kids and Beginners - Step 1
1. Begin by outlining the cross. Use "L" shaped lines for the sides of each set of arms. The beams formed by lines should appear to meet at a perpendicular angle.
Notice, too, that the lower vertical arm is longer than the other arms.
Next, extend short, straight lines from each side of the upper arm. From there, extend another set of straight lines. Allow them to meet at a point at the top, forming an arrow-like shape.

What is the cross? Today, it is generally regarded as the primary symbol of Christianity.
In some Bibles, the Greek word stauros, the instrument used to execute Jesus, is translated "cross," though the word itself literally means "pole."
The cross as a symbol, however, has a long history that predates the Christian religion. Researchers think it originated as a religious symbol in Babylon.

It then spread to Egypt, India, Greece, Europe, and even as far away as Mexico. There, it was used by practices of many different religions, often as a symbol of their gods.
About three centuries after the death of Jesus, the cross was adopted as a symbol of this event. Why?
The Roman emperor Constantine sought to unite his diverse peoples by blending their religions and converting to Christianity.
Since many from diverse religions already used the cross in their worship, the use of the symbol was thought to promote tolerance.
What does a cross with wings mean? This symbol is often used to memorialize a person who has died. The wings denote the belief that the person is an angel in heaven.
The cross refers to the Christian tenant that Jesus died for the sins of mankind and therefore for the salvation of the person being memorialized.
