What is the Jerusalem Cross ?

June 8th, 2007 by Angelyn

Jerusalem Cross 

The Jerusalem Cross is also called the Crusader’s Cross. This emblem was sent by Patriarch Thomas of Jerusalem to Charlemagne in the ninth century.

There are five crosses all with equal horizontal and vertical arms: one large and four small, one in each quadrant. Together, they represent Christ’s five wounds and the four corners of the earth.
