Sun cross

Alright kiddo, have you ever drawn or seen a picture of a circle with lines that go right across and meet in the middle? That's called a "sun cross." It's also known as a "solar cross," because it's a symbol that has been used by different cultures around the world to represent the sun or the four seasons.

Imagine that the circle in the sun cross is like the sun in the sky. The lines that go across it are like the rays of the sun. In some cultures, the sun is a very important symbol because it gives us light and warmth, and helps things grow. So people would draw or carve the sun cross to remind them of the power of the sun.

But the sun cross is not just a pretty symbol, it also has a lot of meanings. For example, some people believe that the four lines in the sun cross represent the four elements: earth, air, fire, and water. Others think that the sun cross represents the journey of the sun throughout the seasons. The horizontal line could represent the equinoxes, when day and night are equal, and the vertical line could represent the solstices, when the sun is at its highest or lowest point in the sky.

So there you have it, kiddo! The sun cross is a symbol that looks like a circle with lines going across it, and it has been used by different cultures to represent the sun or the four seasons. It has different meanings and can be interpreted in many ways.
