Hi there,

Hope you had a nice day today. Good or bad, it is almost on the way out. Before it goes, I would like to teach you an expression.

The cross is an ancient symbol in many cultures and religions. It is closely linked, of course, with the Christian church. Scandinavians also used crosses to mark the edges of their territory. And the cross was a sacred symbol to the Egyptians and to the Aztecs in Mexico. Today, the word cross is used in many expressions that seem to have little direct connection to religious beliefs.
For example one way of wishing good luck to someone is to tell him that you  will " keep your fingers crossed" for him.
