The cross, the principal symbol of the Christian religion, recalling the Crucifixion of Jesus Christ and the redeeming benefits of his Passion and death. The cross is thus a sign both of Christ himself and of the faith of Christians. In ceremonial usage, making a sign of the cross may be, according to the context, an act of profession of faith, a prayer, a dedication, or a benediction.

“The Cross symbolises God’s love for His creation. A vertical line – God’s activity – intersects the horizontal – God’s creation. God the Son, incarnate as the historical Jesus of Nazareth, unites Himself with us completely, including in our death, by dying upon the Cross. He rises and raises us with Himself. Thus it also becomes the symbol of the victory of good over evil and we make use of it to bless ourselves, each other and all the world.”
