Did you know that the way Christians hold their fingers when making the Sign of the Cross has different meanings?

From the Orthodox ICXC hand position representing Jesus Christ, to the traditional Latin use of five fingers symbolizing the Five Wounds of Christ, to the three fingers representing the Holy Trinity and two fingers representing the two natures of Christ, each gesture carries centuries of Christian symbolism and tradition.
