		The sun cross is a cross inside a circle, one of the oldest and most universal religious symbols [1], and a traditional neopagan solar symbol.
		Despite the pagan origins of the symbol, because of their association with Christianity, Western culture and old Aryan traditions, the sun cross and the derived Celtic cross have been adopted by European heritage and pro-White movements since the 1960s.
		Along with other ancestral symbols, the sun cross is also used as a symbol by Heathens and Asatru adherents in particular as an attempt at reconstruction of ancient Germanic and Slavic (Native Polish Church) pre-Christian religion and culture, free of political implications.
