The rose cross or rosy cross is a symbol largely associated with Christian Rosencreutz, alchemist and founder of the Rosicrucian Order. The Rose Cross is, as its name suggests, a cross with a white rose at its centre and symbolizes the teachings of a tradition formed within the Christian tenets.It has several meanings, depending on the source. Some groups, such as the Ancient and Mystical Order Rosae Crucis, from a non-religious view, suggest that the rosy cross predates Christianity, where "the cross represents the human body and the rose represents the individual's unfolding consciousness."
