Christian Crosses
- images and brief description

Below are some of the notable christian symbols that might be good to know and recognise.

	Known as the Latin cross or crux ordinaria, this is the most common cross symbol in Christianity. A favorite amongst Protestant Christians, this simple cross reminds of the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
	This is an example of a Celtic Cross. It has a circle around the cross bar and usually has some intricate designs on it.
	An example of the Graded Cross commonly known as the Cross of Calvary. It has three steps at the bottom of the cross. These could represent the hill of Calvary or represent faith, hope and love.
	The Greek Cross has four equal arms. It is one of the most ancient crosses.

There are other kind of crosses but I will need more extensive study and research to be able to add them here.

Pagan religions and cults also have their cross symbols so it is of importance that we know what each symbol represents.

This is especially important since most of us Christian love to wear cross jewelry on our bodies; example, cross pendant, earrings and bracelets. It is better to do a bit of research online or in the library before wearing something that might not be appropriate and has a different meaning from the Christian cross.
