Religious symbols are symbols that throughout history the various religions have adopted to represent ideas and concepts related to their beliefs. Religious symbols are symbols that merge the major characteristics of the symbols/signs with the particular characteristics it possesses as a religious symbol. They might look ordinary and meaningless at the first glance but behind each is a story, a story that expresses moral values and a religion’s teachings. Religious symbols are distinguished from others by the fact that they are a representation of that which is beyond the conceptual sphere, they point to the reality implied in the religious act.
