Cross of Nero

Nero, the Roman emperor from AD 54 to AD 68, showed a clear dislike for Christians. He waged brutal repression against the followers of Christ. This is what he blamed for the burning of Rome, which contributed to the bloody persecution.

It was he, at the request of St. Peter, he crucified the apostle on an inverted cross. Thus, the inverted broken cross, also called the cross of Nero, became a symbol of persecution and hatred directed at Christians.

The very act of destroying the cross should express the denial that faith in Jesus proclaims and symbolizes values ​​that are opposite to those held by Christians.

In 1958, this symbol, named Pcific, was given a new meaning, meaning peace and love.
