Everything about Arrow Cross totally explained
In the traditional terminology of
heraldry, this symbol was called a "cross barby" or "cross barbee". In
Christian use, the ends of this cross resemble the barbs of fish hooks, or fish spears. This alludes to the
Ichthys symbol of
Christ, and is suggestive of the "fishers of men" theme in the
Gospel.
In modern use the symbol has become associated with extremist right wing organisations after the
Arrow Cross (
Nyilaskereszt) symbol was used in
Hungary in the
1930s as the symbol of the leading Hungarian
fascist political party, the
Arrow Cross Party. The symbol consists of two green double-ended arrows in a cross configuration on a white circular background, much like the
German Nazi swastika. The arrow cross symbol remains outlawed in Hungary.
A similar symbol, the
Crosstar, is now used by the
Nationalist Movement, a
white supremacist group based in the
United States. Both are basically the arrow cross symbol. that's traced back to ancient times and was used by Hungarian tribes in the middle ages.
