Zia Sun Symbol

The Zia Sun Symbol is a sacred design originating from the Zia Pueblo in New Mexico. It features a circle with four sets of lines radiating outward, representing key elements such as the four directions (north, south, east, west), the four seasons, the four times of day (morning, afternoon, evening, night), and the stages of life (childhood, youth, adulthood, old age). The design emphasizes balance, harmony, and interconnectedness in life and nature. The symbol holds spiritual significance for the Zia people and is often used to convey respect for their cultural heritage.
