The Latin cross is the simple Christian cross with a horizontal bar crossing a vertical bar and is a symbol of Christ’s resurrection. One variation is the cross pattée with flaring arms narrowing towards the center and expending wider at the ends which may be straight or rounded. Ethiopian crosses are unique, based on Coptic Crosses with variations such as the Axum and Solomon’s cross.
