Symbolism > cross potent

cross potent

The cross potent is formed by four capital T’s joined at their bases. The T shape resembles the handle of a crutch, therefore this cross might symbolize one whose support is the cross. The cross potent is also sometimes called the Jerusalem cross because the insignia of Jerusalem, established by the Crusaders, consists of four small, square crosses in the spaces between the arms of a cross potent.
