Orthodox Cross Symbol - Meaning, History, and Religious Significance #122096 (License: Personal Use)

This black silhouette depicts a Byzantine or Orthodox cross, characterized by its three horizontal bars-the top for the inscription “INRI,” the middle for Christ’s arms, and the lower slanted bar representing the footrest and the two thieves. The rounded, trefoil (three-lobed) ends symbolize the Holy Trinity and are common in Eastern Christian iconography. The stark contrast against the white background emphasizes its solemn spiritual significance.
