THE CROSS IN HERALDRY.
Over iO7 Forms of 1t Used in HeraIdie
Designs.
(From the Ave Marla.D

In the early pagan days the cross was
"A symbol of shame and ienominy. and
only those dcformcd or misshapen trees
that could he used for no other purpose
were formed into crosses But since the
cross has become dear to Christians the
most precious woods and metals have
been formed into it. To the third CEN

Ing the Sign of the Cross. In the days
of Constantine, Christians painted cross
cS on the entrances Of their houses as
symbol of their faith.
The impetus II the use of the cross
In heraldry was given by the Crusaders
who wore red cross upon their right
shoulder as Il token of the obligat ton
they had taken upon themselves. Its
form and meanings in heraldic designs
are MAN,. In fact, over 407 different
forms have been recorded by students of
biography and gcnealoogy
In heraldry the cross Is formed by
two perpendicular and two horizontal
lines crossing in the center of the shield.
This form is modified In various ways
by additions and combinations thus ex-
pressing many meanings. 1t has been

The Greek cross has all four arms Of
equal length. while the Latin cross has
the earth end longer than the other
three arms. The Calvary or Christ
cross rests upon three steps or degrees
The Patriarch cross Is recognized by it's
double crosshar. The st. Andrews
cross Is an y. In token OF the form of

tyrdom by having his hands and feet
bound to its four arms. The St. An

its name from the cross that st. An

though the origin of his cross seems 10
be Egyptian.
II is matter Of interest that many
American families have the cross as the
basic emblem of their escutcheOns.
among them are at least five of the
presidents The Garfield shield has "A

the family motto Is I'm the cross con-

two crescents and a cross form. The
