What Is a Greek Cross?
Unlike the Latin cross, the equal arm cross (also called the crux immissa quadrata) features four arms of identical length, forming a perfect plus sign. This balanced form has been used in Greek Orthodox cross iconography, Byzantine art, and ancient Hellenic culture for millennia.
