As I attended Mass on Sun-day morning (8/14/11) at St. Anthony Catholic Church in Fort Lauderdale, I was reminded of how when Catholics 'cross themselves' (I refrain from this), they are symbolizing the Five Points of the Cross while saying, "In the name of The Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, Amen." Ok, so Catholics superimpose The Trinity onto the Five Points of the Cross. Permit me to correct this poor geometrical connection.
The Cross was an excellent choice by God to represent the Holy Pentad. 'Penta-' is Greek for five and 'penta-' has five letters! (Bi- has two letters, Tri- has three, Quad- has four.) There are four Cardinal Points to the Cross + the intersection of the four lines, which is the focal point74 of the Cross74. This intersection is where Jesus'74 head was.
Traditionally, the top point is the Father. Let's keep that. Then the bottom point has been the Son. Let's change that. The bottom will now be the Mother and/or Mother Earth. The Right Point & Left Point has traditionally been the Holy Spirit. Let's change that to the Son and the Daughter. We now have left the all-important intersection as The Holy Spirit.
Step #1 of gematria is simply counting the number of letters in a word/name/phrase. The name Jesus has five letters as does Y'shua74 and IESVS74 (the Messiah74's name written in Latin and placed on a placard on the Cross). This coupled with the five letters of 'penta-', 'Cross' and its Five Point(5)s is no 'coincidence'! The Holy Trinity has no female representation. God is both male & female, right?
If we think of the bottom point of the Cross as The Mother and/or Mother Earth, consider that this is where the Cross is embedded in Mother Earth! And who was at the bottom of the Cross during Jesus crucifixion on that fateful day of April 7, 30 AD (7/4/782 AUC)? Mary Mother of Jesus and Mary Magdalean (Mariamne). It's very appropriate to make this connect74ion between74 The Mother and the bottom of the Cross.
And where there's a mother, well, she had to start out as a daughter. Just like a father has to start out as a son. The simple74 family unit of a father, mother, son, and daughter is what drives all human and animal life. These 'Quadrants' are holy (whole-ee) only when it behaves as One, and this connection - this point of intersection - includes the Holy Spirit.
So there you have it. The Holy Pentad is a new, yet ancient perspective on the symbolism of the Cross and its Five Points of The Father, The Mother, The Son, The Daughter, and the Holy Spirit. I realize that this new symbolism of the Cross may make some Christians cross, but they just need to give it some thought and some time, and it will inevitably be adopted because it's better than before. And the progress of civilization is supposed to be based on "it's better than before".
