The Sacred Meaning of the Jerusalem Cross
The Jerusalem Cross pendant reflects the heart of Christian devotion, rooted firmly in the Holy Land where faith and history meet. Often called the Crusader's Cross, this unique symbol features a large central cross surrounded by four smaller crosses. This design is rich with traditional interpretations. The five crosses together are a powerful visual representation of the five wounds of Christ—the central cross symbolizing the spear wound, and the four smaller crosses representing the wounds in His hands and feet.
Another profound reading is that the large cross signifies Christ himself, with the four smaller crosses symbolizing the Four Evangelists and the divine command to spread the Gospel to the four corners of the world. Worn close, this Christian cross necklace reminds the believer of prayer, trust, and the eternal connection to Jerusalem itself.
