saltire
The saltire is most often found in Scottish arms because it is the well-known cross of St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland. It is a cross running from corner to corner rather than vertically and horizontally like a crucifix. The saltire symbolizes suffering for faith and the endurance of hardships.Copyright © 2000 - 2009 Swyrich Corporation, all rights reserved
