Your favorite Christian symbols, other than the Latin cross and the fish

[Tis_Bearself]

I kinda like the Jerusalem cross.

I’m also fond of the Staurogram, mostly because I found some eBay listing a while back for somebody selling a Staurogram wall cross but they had listed it as a “Protestant Cross” because they thought the “P” meant “Protestant”.

The Earliest Picture Of Jesus On The Cross

A splendid depiction of the crucifixion that you've probably never seen.

What are some of yours?

That’s kind of funny.

I like the Sacred and Immaculate Hearts.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

Yes, all those Protestants running amok in 4th century Syria…

 

[CradleRC58]

Same here, the Two Hearts.

 

[TheLittleLady]

The Pelican

 

[BoomBoomMancini]

The chi rho.

I would also add the Celtic cross and the anchor.

 

[AngelusDomini]

Chi Rho, Alpha & Omega, Immaculate & Sacred hearts

Another favourite is the Passion Flower.

 

[Maximilian75]

Seal of St. Benedict, and both sides of the Miraculous Medal

 

[Casilda]

Two, the Rabbula Cross (on the Patriarchs’ staff) and the budded 3-arm St. Maron’s Cross he is holding.

 

[CRM_Brother]

The pelican
The Ibis/crane (symbol of resurrection in ancient liturgical art)
The lit lamp (virginity)
The martyr’s palm

 

[ShowersofRoses]

Also the Lamb

 

[Maximilian75]

yesss the pelican is so underrated

 

[Maximilian75]

Even if its formulated on a myth…

 

[Rob2]

I wear a miraculous medal , but I am struggling to think what is my favourite Christian symbol .

Though two symbols of the Society of Jesus would be when I come to think of it …

Perhaps by symbol you don’t mean “image.” But I am much taken these days by the image of the Divine Mercy.

 

[Tis_Bearself]

When I was very small, my dad went on business to Louisiana and brought back pelican stuff, so I have always associated it with the state, not with the Church.

Actually, the “IHS” was invented long before the Jesuits - by St. Bernardine of Siena, a Franciscan.

I like images (especially stained glass) that feature a host above a chalice.
