United States Of Abraxas

Hey everybody, welcome back for another video. Today we're going to be talking about the United States of Abraxas because I've been digging into these, what look like Templar crosses throughout the state of Massachusetts and I think I might have made some connections and I think you'll find it very interesting, so let's get into it. Now there is this church here on screen called the Village Congregational Church in Wittonsville, Massachusetts and it may be a bit older than we're being told but it's got some interesting columns and capitals on top of those columns and we're going to get into that but I just wanted to give you a quick refresher. I've been looking into churches throughout that state of Massachusetts. Some are now Baptist churches. Some are Orthodox churches but they feature what appear to be these Templar crosses in my opinion. So this particular church in Wittonsville not too far away from Worcester, Mass but what caught my attention with respect to this church as I mentioned are some of these Corinthian columns and once again another what appears to be a Knights Templar cross but in addition to that symbol there's another symbol which looks like this Cairo symbol. You can see it here and in the bottom right but it's in essence it appears to be these two Greek letters superimposed on each other. What would appear as the letters P and X but they're actually Greek letters but on this column on the left here you also have two Greek letters which stand for I believe Alpha and Omega. So this is very interesting to me because when you look at the history of this Cairo symbol it predates Christianity and I don't trust any of the dates were given for a lot of these coins but I do believe they exist and they do feature this symbol so it predates Christianity at least in the form that we understand it. So that's very interesting and of course we have the story or narrative that Constantine the Great he adopted this symbol because of a vision in 312 AD we're told. So I'm not sure if this event even happened and this may have been an attempt to integrate this symbol into Christianity. That is my speculation but you can definitely find this Cairo symbol on other coins as well. So it's definitely there but is the story they're giving us about Constantine is that accurate? That's sort of the question. Now speaking of the Templars, the Fallen Order where things take another turn as I was looking into this church in Greece these hidden symbols in this church and you have this Byzantine church of Meteora and there are apparently a lot of these Templar symbols linked to this church and it's all featured in this article talking about the unknown history of this church and over some of the entrances you find again the Templar cross carved on the church's entrance and you can find these crosses on the inside of this church as well but in this article and this is where I got this graphic from from the same article talking about the church they were just pointing out some other interesting things on the outside of the church like these two snakes as well as what they believe is a depiction of Helios the sun god and they also talk about this Templar seal of Abraxas and when you start looking at some of these Templar seals featuring this deity of Abraxas it seems like primarily there are two forms one with basically these legs that are upturned in the form of snakes and a more worm like appearance but the upturned legs in the form of snakes that is very interesting to me and here's a more recent example with a rooster head I believe but this looks very similar to something I've seen throughout my studies and if we go back to Worcester Polytechnic Institute in a previous video I talked about this Higgins house which was supposed to be a replica of a house in England from the 1500s but we're told it was built in the 1920s but one of the treasures associated with the article I was reading about this hidden treasures of the Higgins house you have this depiction of this merman type figure with these upturned legs and not necessarily serpent legs but very similar to what we're seeing in the crowned element and obviously the rooster head I think there might be a connection between these merman depictions and the Templars and Abraxas and I think there's something going on with this in my opinion and again I've talked about these stove tiles that were placed on these stoves from the 14, 15, 1600s that also feature these what appear to be these merman and women with the upturned legs very intriguing so that was one thing that stood out to me the connection between this symbol and this Abraxas symbol on the Templar seal and of course those crosses but also when you look at some of these seals again the Alpha the Omega symbol and the letter I and these same letters that are showing up on this Templar seal you can find the A and the W of course with the Cairo symbol so in reference to the Alpha and Omega as well so I guess I am just wondering if some of these symbols actually point to something else this other deity maybe and we're just being told they're Christian symbols in the case of the Cairo but the Templar crosses this Cairo symbol I just feel like there might be something more going on and I feel like we've been given different histories for a lot of these churches and the symbols and that's kind of where I'm at with some of these old world structures but I just wanted to share it with you guys I thought it was super interesting and that's all I got for you for today so let me give a big shout out to my channel members thank you for your help and support greatly appreciated as well as my patrons thank you for all your help and support as well it's also greatly appreciated so until next time take care bye How did Constantine use the Cairo? Have you ever wondered how a simple symbol could change the course of history? The Cairo symbol a combination of the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ became a powerful emblem during the reign of Constantine the Great. Constantine a key figure in ancient Roman history began using the Cairo after experiencing a vision before the battle of Milvian Bridge in the year 312 of the Common Era. In this vision he was told to mark his soldiers shields with the Cairo. He believed this would lead to victory. Following his success in that battle the Cairo became an official symbol of his rule. This shift laid the groundwork for the eventual Christianization of the Roman Empire forever altering its history and culture.
