12 Inch Jerusalem Cross

*Made of quarter inch birch wood. *These are light weight enough to be hung with 3M strips. They are also perfect for setting on the shelf, mantle, dresser, etc. We chose to make the Jerusalem Cross because of its many and profound symbolisms. “The Jerusalem cross is believed to represent several things. Historians note that the four crosses surrounding the large center cross represent the four Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The four crosses also are believed to represent the four corners of the earth, in which Jesus desired His word to be proclaimed by His disciples. The large cross symbolizes Christ. Other historians believe that the five crosses together symbolize the five wounds Jesus suffered on the cross. The four small crosses represent the four wounds of Jesus’ hands and feet, while the large cross signifies Jesus’ pierced heart.” *Free U.S. shipping.
