Mosaics and Images from Byzantine Ravenna, Italy:
I was also reading about it here: Christian iconography
**Why is the square a symbol of the Melchizedek Priesthood? What ancient documents detail this?**
**If no ancient documents, then are there Jewish or early Christian graves that somehow convey that the square represents the Melchizedek Priesthood?**
