The Passion Cross

Passion Cross – The Passion Cross, which is also called the Cross Aiguisee and the Cross Urdee, has its ends cut to points, which stand free of the cross. Because it represents the suffering of Our Lord, it is also known as the Cross of Suffering. In this design it is combined with the crown of thorns, which was a parody upon the Roman Emperor’s crown of roses. Three nails and the monogram of Christ are included and all of these are symbols of the Passion.
