Vertical symbolizes the kingdom of God, horizontal symbolizes the world, and the intersection of the two symbolizes the unity of heaven and earth. T-shaped cross T-shaped cross, also known as Anthony cross, Tau cross or Egyptian cross, is also called robber cross, because the robber who was hanged with Jesus was hanged on this cross. Among them, the name of the Tau cross comes from the 19 letter τ (sound "Tao") in Greek, and it is also the last letter Taw in Hebrew. Patriarchal cross, also known as Byzantine cross, is a variant of the Christian religious symbol Holy Cross. It's basically the same as the Latin cross, except that there is a small bar on it. In the symbols of the cross in Byzantine Greece and Eastern Europe, the archbishop's cross will be marked with a slash, which is also one of the symbols commonly used by the Orthodox Church. Lorraine cross is similar to the archbishop's cross and is called "crux vera". Since 1099, it has been adopted by Godfrey in Buyong, Herzog von Lothringen as the symbol of Lorraine family. In World War II, General Charles de Gaulle even adopted this cross as a symbol of French resistance and a symbol of free France. Celtic Cross Celtic Cross (Irish: Crochealtach) [1] is a cross symbol, and the intersection in the middle is connected by a ring. In the early days, the Celtic cross usually refers to a stone tablet called the high cross standing on the base of a cube. The ring in the stone tablet is a tool to strengthen the connection of limbs. The front of the early high cross was wide and simple, engraved with many animal patterns; Later, its surface was engraved with poetry.

The simpler form of this cross (the four ends of the big cross do not extend) is often called the "Crusader Cross" because during the first Crusade that year, Pope Urbano II gave a papal flag with this symbol to the Crusaders. Later, the cross became a symbol of Jerusalem, the Latin kingdom. The orthodox cross appeared in the Byzantine Empire. The first horizontal line represents Jesus' head, and the diagonal line below represents Jesus' feet, which is used by the Orthodox Church. St Andrew's Cross St Andrew's Cross is an X-shaped cross symbol. It is said that Andrew, a disciple of Jesus, was martyred on this cross. The flag of Scotland, the flag of Jamaica, the flag of the Russian navy and many other flags or heraldic symbols are made up of this symbol.
