But few knew at the beginning of Christian religion we will not find the picture of the cross in places of their religious duties. Although before 4 AD was difficult to be found the church in a sense that is known by us now (because in thet period Christian religion was banned and its followers performed religious duties secretly), but they had catacombs that were the place of the funeral and proof they faith. The catacombs was the underground grave that compiled and was created because the normal funeral land did not want to accommodate the follower's Christian body. Catacomb usually was decorated with pictures that told about the death of the martyrs and Jesus's life (in the Islam religion,Prophet Isa AS) but overall the drafting are about miracle and various happy incidents. The prophet Moses took his people across beyond the Red Sea,, three holy people were safe from burnt alive punishment , Jesus perform his miracle with awakened died Lazarus and etc .But once again , we not have the cross. Jesus's drafting too was very different from what was this current. Jesus used the dress or Roman tunik with short hair and the face that were shaved clean.
Picture of Jesus's awakening Lazarus from one of the catacombs that was found in Rome.
Very different ? One of the reasons why Jesus was depicted had short hair and smooth face was the view in the Roman empire at that time that long hair, the moustache, and the beard were the sign of barbarian. But the view increasingly changed and in the 3th century ad the moustache and the whisker be fashionable so also Jesus's drafting began depicted he with long hair and moustache. Around 4th century AD pictures of the first crucifixion was made (Although still in the form of iconography manner and was not too clear). After that time the cross be the global symbol of that religion.
