It is commonly found today as a piece of jewelry (in gold or silver) or engraved on buildings connected with the Reformed Church in France. It also formed part of the official logo of the Reformed Church in France.\u003cbr\u003e\nThe symbolism of the Huguenot cross is particularly rich.\u003cbr\u003e\n 1) The cross as an eminent symbol of the Christian faith, represents not only the death of Christ but also victory over death and impiety. This is represented also in the Maltese Cross.\u003cbr\u003e\n 2) It is boutonné, the eight points symbolising the eight Beatitudes (Matthew 5:3-12)\u003cbr\u003e\n 3)Between the arms of the cross is the stylised fleur-de-lys (on the French Coat of Arms), each has 3 petals; the total of twelve petals of the fleur-de-lys signify the twelve apostles. Between each fleur-de-lys and the arms of the Maltese Cross with which it is joined, an open space in the form of a heart, the symbol of loyalty, suggests the seal of the French Reformer, John Calvin.\u003cbr\u003e\n 4)The pendant dove symbolises the Holy Spirit (Romans 8:16).In times of persecution a pearl, symbolizing a teardrop, replaced the dove.\u003cbr\u003e\nCross of the Order of the Holy Spirit\u003cbr\u003e\nThe elements of the Huguenot cross mirrored those of the cross of the 1578 Order of the Holy Spirit, the senior chivalric order of France by precedence.\u003cbr\u003e\n( SOURCE : WIKIPEDIA)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePictures are an intrinsic part of the description.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e==== FREE SHIPPING WORLDWIDE ====\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMy selling principle is : \" SATISFACTION OR REFUND \" AND IT APPLIES 100 %.\u003cbr\u003e\nI am ready to refund in totality any item sold by me if you are not fully satisfied with your purchase\u003cbr\u003e\nNO QUESTIONS ASKED - NO CONDITIONS\u003cbr\u003e\nBUY WITH COMPLETE CONFIDENCE\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"SwanCollection","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":65195562926429,"sku":"PRE-18K-O9N7","price":435.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0823\/5420\/9117\/files\/il_fullxfull.8226936368_ss0g.jpg?v=1783524432","url":"https:\/\/swancollection.com\/products\/18-k-gold-huguenot-cross-1930-s-pendant-91028","provider":"SwanCollection","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
