Knights Templar Cross Symbol - Historical Meaning and Design #3758050 (License: Personal Use)

This is the Cross Pattée variant used by the Knights Templar-a bold red Latin cross with arms that widen and split into two lobes at each end. Its design symbolized martyrdom and Christian devotion, adopted during the Crusades as the order’s official insignia. The stark contrast against the green field enhances its visual impact and historical resonance.
