I was raised Southern Baptist and so I saw crosses a lot at church throughout the week.
Interesting.
When you light roman candles to 'celebrate independence day' here's the gruesome
origins of an 'actual' Roman Candle:
Nero punished devoted Christians by coating their strung bodies in pitch, oil, wax and other
flammable materials before lighting their feet and using them as human candles. The 'Roman
Candles' were use to light formal parties with the imperial gardens, whilst lit in such a way to
prolong torture and pain. Elite guest of these private gatherings would seek entertainment from
the suffering, whilst candles also gave a decoration and torchlight which they considered desirable.
We were Southern Baptists in the summer and Pentecostal in the Winter.
I saw through the ruse of magicians and the mesmerized flock as young as 5.
Still didn't stop me going to check out chicks. =P
ROMAN CANDLES.... A dark 'twisted/wick'ed' history.
