Orthodox Christian Cross Symbol - Meaning and Design #1668742 (License: Personal Use)

This black silhouette depicts a traditional Eastern Orthodox cross, distinguished by its three horizontal bars and trefoil (three-lobed) ends on each arm. The upper bar represents the inscription “INRI,” the main bar Christ’s crucifixion, and the slanted lower bar the footrest, often angled to signify the thief who repented. The trefoil motif emphasizes the Holy Trinity-Father, Son, and Holy Spirit-in Christian theology.
