Tau Cross

References

I couldn't find an ISBN number for this book: "Church Symbolism" by F.R. Webber, published in Cleveland by J.H. Jansen in 1938. My personal copy is this 1938 second edition version. The first edition was released in 1927, in case that information is helpful. Dulcimerist 01:35, 12 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The references are incorrect. The text was lifted word for word from my symbol entry on the Tau cross. This is referred to in the text, so I don't know where the mystery references come from, or if they actually exist. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Infinitysnake (talk • contribs) 06:01, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Exclusively Christian?

Granted the Christians certainly use this symbol, but is it fair to call it a "Christian cross" if so many other cultures have used it? yes —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.229.114.93 (talk) 01:33, 11 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Hyslop's bad research slipping in?

I edited a misstatement that Tammuz was killed and resurrected every Spring; the rituals related to that occur in the month named after him, which is the summer. I did not edit the claim that the custom of ashes on the forehead stemmed from Tammuz, even though it sounds like the sort of strange claim made by polemicists like Alexander Hislop. Is there any verification of this?
