I know what you're all saying: " No not that sign, it means peace". This sign was used in the 60's and 70's a lot by the hippies, it meant to them peace. This sign is now making a heavy come back through the influence of the 60's and 70's. But the truth in where this sign really comes from, it may shock you. It is really called: "The Cross of Nero", it shows an upside-down cross broken downward at the cross anchor. It was sign signifying defeat of Christianity. Guess where their meaning of peace came from? That's right, peace against Christians. Also some of the heavy metal and occult groups are now wearing them to signify their allegiance against Christianity. Satan is very clever, isn't he?
The Cross of Nero is now more commonly known as the Peace Sign, although many who see it are completely unaware of its origin or even how it came to symbolise 'peace'. The Cross of Nero is an inverted cross, broken at the anchor of the cross and enclosed in a circle, representing Nero's vision. Nero believed there would be world peace without Christianity, as a consequence of which thousands of Christians were martyred under his rule. This symbol is also known as 'The Dead Man's Rune', and can be seen on the tombstones of some of Adolf Hitler's SS troops.
Hippie Van The Cross of Nero did not come to symbolize peace until the late 1960s / early 1970s during The Cold War (a period of tension and competition between the United States and the Soviet Union and their allies from the end of WWII until approximately 1990) when 'flower-power', created by the 'hippie movement', was at its height. It was often worn as a necklace and could be found as graffiti on walls throughout the country. The ‘hippies’ also painted their individual forms of transport, old Volkswagen Dorm mobiles in particular, in bright colors and flowers, but more significantly with the peace symbol.
