Back then the swastika was a symbol of welcome, fortune, prosperity and distribution of good fortune. It could be found in religious buildings etc everywhere. The clue is in the angle it’s set at. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I always saw it as a very pagan symbol so didn't expect to see it on a Christian gravestone....though it is on a Celtic Cross. The grave yard has a few graves with Masonic symbols on them as well 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
