Questions ? The Jerusalem Cross
symbolizes many things:
1) the 4 little crosses
represent His hands and
feet that were pierced
and the large one is the
spear that wounded the
side of Jesus 2) the 4
little ones represent the
Gospel books (Matthew,
Mark, Luke, & John) and
Jesus in the center. 3)
The small crosses
represent the 4 corners
of the earth with the big
Jesus connecting us all.
