Deep dives
Symbolism of the Egyptian Obelisk in St. Peter's Square
In St. Peter's Square, the presence of the Egyptian obelisk symbolizes Christianity's victory over paganism. Originally situated in Nero's circus where St. Peter was martyred, the obelisk now bears a cross on top, signifying Christ's triumph over pagan symbols. The inscription 'Christus vinci, Christus reignat, Christus imperat' highlights the Christian belief that Christ conquers and reigns above all. This juxtaposition suggests that various religious aspirations ultimately point towards Christ.
