I am doing a little search here for a unit on Medieval/Renaissance
Symbolism.
I ran across this page that describes the positive and negative meaning of
symbols:
http://www.crossroad.to/Books/symbols.html

Please post additional sites you have come across that show what symbols
mean to the kids of today (so many are turning to occult beliefs systems).

I think Kim Herbert (Was it you, Kim?) posted some a while back but that
folder was lost when I re-imaged last summer.

My husband bought me a gold cross necklace for Christmas - I like what the
cross means to me. Symbolism is very important to me and is very prevalent
in my own art work (one example:

Sensational Sunday!
