About this deal

Also known as the Crusader's Cross. A large cross with a smaller cross in each of its angles. It was used as a symbol of the Kingdom of Jerusalem. These wooden crosses were enclosed in metal cases featuring ornate Celtic designs of spirals and interlacing.

Based on the counts of Toulouse's traditional coat of arms, it soon became the symbol of Occitania as a whole. See also: Crosses in heraldry Christian cross variants 7th-century Byzantine solidus, showing Leontius holding a globus cruciger, with a stepped cross on the obverse side Double-barred cross symbol as used in a 9th-century Byzantine seal Greek cross (Church of Saint Sava) and Latin cross (St. Paul's cathedral) in church floorplansOne of the most fundamental changes is that after this period was that replica high crosses of reduced size were used as gravemarkers in the form of headstones from this point onwards.

There is still quite a bit of debate as to whether the high crosses were carved in situ or prior to their erection. A cross resting on a base with several steps (usually three), also called a graded or a Calvary cross. This symbol first appears on coinage from the time of Byzantine Emperor Heraclius (r. 610–641). The three steps represent Faith, Hope and Charity, and are sometimes marked Fides (top), Spes (middle) and Caritas (bottom), the Latin forms of these words. [4] It is thought that several of these main high crosses, such as Muiredach’s Cross , the Cross of the Scriptures and the Market Cross of Kells can possibly be attributed to the work of one exceptionally skilled mason, who has been identified as the “ Muiredach Master” by the art historian Roger Stalley.One of the most identifiable features of high crosses is the extensive use of carved panels depicting the scriptures using Celtic art imagery and patterns to decorate the entire surface of the cross. The cross of Saint Florian, patron saint of firefighters, is often confused with the Maltese Cross (for example, the New York City Fire Department so calls it); although it may have eight or more points, it also has large curved arcs between the points.
