* Jerusalem Cross symbolism: The Jerusalem Cross is also known as the Five-Fold Cross and the Crusader's Cross is made of four Tau Crosses which are in the four corners of the larger Cross. It was originally known as the Five-Fold Cross representing the Five Wounds of Christ's crucifixion. The first ruler of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem had the Jerusalem Cross as the coat of arms. This cross was later used by the Crusaders. The Five-Fold Cross is said to be symbolic of France, Germany, Great Britain, Italy and Spain. Also, the four small Tau crosses symbolize the four corners of the earth - as we are instructed to carry the good news to the four corners of the earth as the early missionaries carried the gospel from Jerusalem which is represented by the large cross.
