The Jerusalem Cross dates back to the First Crusade in the 11th Century. Crusaders saw the Jerusalem Cross as a symbol of salvation and a call to spread the word of God from the central location of the Christian Faith, Jerusalem.
The Jerusalem cross design features a cross surrounded by four smaller crosslets. These smaller crosses represent the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, who wrote the gospels and helped spread the word of Jesus Christ in all directions.
Perhaps the most compelling symbolism found in the Jerusalem Cross is that of the five wounds Jesus Christ suffered during the passion. Wounds to Christ's hands and feet are represented in the small crosses and the large center cross represents the wound to Jesus' side.
