The Cross of Lorraine

“The hardest thing to ever do is to reveal the naked soul to the world. However, in doing so brings healing, growth, strength, and powerful inspiration!”
― H.E. Olsen "Unspeakable feelings need to find expression in words. However. ..verbalization of very intense feelings may be a difficult task." ~ James A. Chu, Rebuilding Shattered Lives |
ORIGINS OF THE CROSS OF LORRAINE
The origin of the cross dates back to the early days of Christianity.
It indeed symbolically represents the Cross on which Jesus was crucified.
It is the Cross on which Pontius Pilate added a second and shorter crossbar inscribed with INRI - Iesvs Nazarenvs, Rex Ivdæorvm - Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews.
The Patriarchs of Jerusalem - in other words the Bishops - granted the Knights Templar the use of the Cross during the Crusades.
