Question: why catholics cross from right to left?
Asked by bubuka101022
Catholics cross from right to left because it is a symbolic gesture of making the sign of the cross. By making the sign of the cross with the right hand going first, it symbolizes that God is always on the right side. In the Roman Catholic Church, the right hand is the dominant hand and is seen as the hand of blessing and honor. Additionally, crossing from right to left is a symbol of Jesus' journey from right to left when he was taken down from the cross and laid in the tomb.
