Jerusalem Cross Symbol - Meaning, History & Religious Significance #1860571 (License: Personal Use)

This embroidered Jerusalem Cross features a large central cross surrounded by four smaller crosses, representing Christ’s crucifixion and the Four Evangelists or the spread of the Gospel to the four corners of the earth. Encircling the design is the Latin motto “Tua Da Gloriam Non Nobis Domine” (often misrendered; correct is “Non nobis, Domine, non nobis, sed nomini tuo da gloriam”), from Psalm 115:1, emphasizing divine glory over human pride. The silver thread on black evokes solemn reverence and liturgical tradition.
