Swords were around alot longer than christianity, if you hadn't noticed.

Answer 1

It is too late to ask Constantine 1st about it, he died back in the 4th Century. He was the fellow that came up with the cross as a symbol of the religion he created to control his empire, it allegedly came to him in a dream the night before the Battle of Milvian Bridge.

Answer 4

actually the cross originated from ancient pagan religions, there is gonna be some people fussing about me saying that. It comes from Nimrod, Ishtar(Pronounced Easter in English Hmmmm), and Tammuz(Nimrod reborn who then married his mother)(This was the start of the quote "Holy Trinity"). Read about them and ancient Babylon. There names also include Osiris and Isis in Egypt along with many other names throughout different lands. It represents a multitude of pagan Gods and Idols. The cross became more prominent when Simon the Pater aka Simon the Sorceror along with Emperor Constantine and the Council of Nicea. But back to the main answer the cross itself represents a few things, 1. Fertility 2. The Three points of the sun, Morning, Noon, Night. 3. and so on depending again on the area of the world. The main religion that created this mainstream of pagan idols was none other than The Roman Catholic Church. This is also relevant to Ancient Babylon.
