Along with chicks, church, and chocolate, crosses are an innate component in Easter celebrations and symbolism.For all its simplicity, the cross bears great significance in symbolizing both crucifixion and resurrection in Catholicism. Rather than depicting this symbol as a crucifix with representations of the body of Christ, Andy Warhol added bright colors and repetition to neutralize and universalize the symbol in his series, “Guns, Knives, and Crosses.”Wishing you a Happy #Easter.
