The letter C - symbolism

C is the third letter of the alphabet. Graphically it is a waning moon. It is associated with the sea and the Great Mother, Magna Mater. It is assumed that in the Phoenician language you would use two letters C and G - to indicate the same sound. In the Maya alphabet, which graphically is comparable to that Phoenician, the letter C was depicted as a double C that would be O, inside a triangle in the lower part and two triangles in the upper part (that recalls the shape of a human face, with two eyes and mouth).

The letter C is considered to be sacred because it contains the first letter of Christ.

Over time, this letter has been simplified and has remained one that resembled the Cyrillic letter Л that had the shape of the Phoenician letter C. in such a way the letter C was represented in the writing of the text that was found by Schliemann in the ruins of Troy. The Egyptian hieratic figure C resembled the Cyrillic letter Л. The Egyptians added a dash outside horizontal, as in Cyrillic on the left side. In the first form of the Greek letter this tip was triangular but was shortened. Later the Greek alphabets have given this figure a modern version Г, while the Romans turned the letter L, remembering the Latin letter L, then it was rounded and the letter C appeared.
