Jerusalem Cross

Cherishing its sentimental value for the followers of Jesus Christ, the Crafts City Bethlehem artisans are particularly interested in Jerusalem Cross. The Cross of the Holy Land or Jerusalem Crossm, also known as Crusaders Cross,  is an ancient emblem of Eastern Christians, formed of a cross with four equal branches, each branch ending in a crutch (or a tau). It is also called a crutch cross. It is the symbol of the Franciscan Custody of the Holy Land, the Christian Media Center and the Work of the Orient. There is no certain information about its origin. The sign, associated with the Kingdom founded by the Crusaders in 1099, actually appears on coins, seals and flags that have nothing to do with the world of the Crusades. On the other hand, it is certain that the Jerusalem cross acquired, with the Crusades, alongside the spiritual meaning, a political meaning and a territorial identity.
Inspired by the Jerusalem cross, our artisans present to you different sorts and shapes of this symbolic piece. For more varieties of Jerusalem Cross please contact us.
