The Flower of Life is a Sacred Geometric shape that has recently gained popularity around the world and is used in numerous ways. What makes it so unique and fascinating is its endless layers of meaning not only as a whole symbol but also when broken down into the various forms and symbols contained within. At first glance, however, it appears to be a collection of many interlocking circles with various shapes and patterns emerging from this.

This symbol is one of the original sacred geometry shapes and dates back to 535 BC. Throughout history it has been found in various locations of significance such as at the Golden Temple in Amritsar, the Louvre, the Forbidden City, and in various ancient Chinese temples, to name a few.

Although it has been around for so long, it was given its name only in the 1990s which created a renewed interest in it.

A variation of the Flower of Life symbol---called the Sole delle Alpi (Sun of the Alps)---was adopted by Lega Nord as their party symbol, as well as for the flag of Padania. According to the Fiore a sei Petali Wikipedia page: The six-petalled flower (also called: shepherd's rose, Carolingian rose, Celtic rose, star-flower, rosette star, flower of the Alps, star of the Alps, sun of the Alps), is a geometric figure having hexagonal symmetry. The symbol has long been present in Cisalpine symbolism, heraldry, and architecture. I used to have an image of this symbol looking absolutely perfect at the top of an ancient Roman column, but I lost it during a loss of thousands of images, media, data etc... years ago. Unfortunately, I never could find that image again.

Check the "Fiore a sei petali" and "The church of S.Egidio and the Sun of the Alps symbol" links above for a number other examples of the sun of the Alps on old Cisalpine architecture and symbolism. These are centuries old! Just like the term Padane, this symbol is nothing new to the Cisalpine region!
