Turning a cross upside down is also a common feature of the black mass.
Turning a church upside down doesnt appear represent a belief in christianity. ![]() Spiral |

![]() Quote from thread In effect, Esmeralda, an innocent party, is rejected by the 'Church' in her 'hour of need'. The priest whom should protect her, will only help if she 'concedes' to his 'carnal desires' and she was shunned by society as a heathen. This could be why the symbolism of the hilt being in 'opposition' to the 'church' scabbard is noticeable and significant. In a way Hugo was, perhaps, against what the 'church' had become.....and that it had lost its way from the Christian teachings that it was 'born from'. Ironically, her execution could have been avoided if she had relented her belief in honesty and goodness..........if she had been personified as a 'Christian' she could well have been made a Saint |
