Peace Sign

After reading the story of the peace sign and how the orientation of it has meant different things, I am immediately reminded of the cross symbol. Right-side up, it is the Christian symbol, flip it upside down, and it can mean anti-Christianity, or reference the cross of saint peter.

I am also reminded of the many signs of peace other than the infamous peace sign. Along with this symbol, there is also the peace hand sign as well as the dove with the olive branch, symbolizing peace on earth.
