The Jerusalem Cross is one of the most recognizable religious symbols in the world. It serves as a central emblem in Christian tradition.
The symbol carries several deep historical meanings:
-
The Five Crosses & Christ: The large center cross represents Christ as the core of the faith. The four smaller crosses represent the Gospel writers: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John.
-
Global Reach: The large cross symbolizes Christ’s strength. The four smaller crosses mark the four corners of the earth where the faith spread.
-
The Five Wounds: The center cross marks the wound on Christ’s side. The four smaller crosses represent the wounds on His hands and feet.
-
The Crusades: The five crosses honor the five nations involved in the Crusades: Great Britain, France, Spain, Germany, and Italy.
-
A Royal Seal: Godfrey de Bouillon adopted the design as his personal coat of arms during the First Crusade (1099). He became the first ruler of Jerusalem and displayed the cross on his papal banner.
