Jerusalem Cross

Description

THE JERUSALEM CROSS,

Also known as the Holy Land Cross, is a symbol known in the Holy Land. It is formed of 5 crosses, four small ones on each side and one big one in the middle.

The cross has two different symbolisms.

One says that the four small crosses around the bigger center cross symbolize the four gosples: Mark Mathew Luke and John, and the center cross symbolizes Jerusalem as the center of the world from where Christianity was spread to the four quarters of the world.

Another symbolism to the cross is the five wounds of Jesus: two in the feet, two in the hands are represented by the four small crosses in each quarter and the wound in side of the heart is presented by the center larger cross.
