We all know it, and it's worth knowing why Orthodox Christians, Catholics, and others, have preserved a practice for 2,000 years! There is MORE to this to discover! I didn't mention the additional symbolisms, or the quotes from many other early Church writers, and  I didn't include the possible histories regarding the sign of the Cross being a continuation of ancient Jewish tradition from Old Testament times, or the prefiguring of the Sign of the Cross in Moses' raised arms over the people of Israel. This is just an intro.
