Though the cross has long been a symbol of Christianity, crosses weren’t always worn openly. Before rising to become one of the world’s major religions, Christians were frequently persecuted and had to worship in secret. As more converted to this growing religion, it became acceptable to openly celebrate one’s faith. As a result, the popularity of wearing a cross also began to rise.

Crosses are one of the most popular icons today. Many subcultures incorporate the cross as a core symbol of their culture. For example, gothic outfits tend to feature black crosses in their jewelry, while rock stars might sport a cross as a way to display their devotion despite being controversial.
