The Bible speaks of the east -the rising sun- as "in front", while the south is called "at the right hand" and the west "in back". The first Christians made it a point to stand facing east when they prayed. The rising sun is a timeless symbol of Christ rising from the dead and our walking "in newness of life" (Rom. 6:4). To indicated the east, many painted a mark (a cross) on the east wall of their room, or attached a wall cross upon it as a sign of their salvation.
