Crux







The cross is an ancient and basic symbol found in cultures throughout the world long before the Christian era. The Greek cross has four equal arms at right angles and generally implies the Church of Christ rather than the symbol of Christ’s suffering. The Greek cross appears on the flags of Greece and Switzerland as well as other nations and regions. It was adopted as the emblem of the Red Cross and now stands as a worldwide symbol of goodwill and humanitarianism. It is also the plus sign used in addition.

The symmetry and balance of the Greek cross is understandably appealing for design.
