The "Hands of God" (Ręce Boga), allegedly an old pre-Christian God symbol.
The Hands of God is a pre-Christian Vandals and Slavic mythology symbol representing Supreme God and universe. For Slavs (as well as other Indo-European groups), the cross was mainly associated with fire and life, but generally associated with the sun, as well as the balance of the universe. In a majority of the primary and original culture, it was believed to provide luck, welfare, and the favor of God. The symbol itself consists of a large central cross symbolizing arms ended with five fingers (the comb shape) and symbolizes Supreme God. Present variations include the Swarzyca Swarog and son Swarozyc or too god's radical force.
