The short, upper bar represents the sign that Pontius Pilate had hung over the head of Jesus which read "Jesus Christ, King of the Jews." The short, lower bar represents the place where Jesus rested his feet. The short, lower bar is diagonal, representing the two thieves crucified next to Jesus. The side pointing up represents the thief who confessed faith in Christ. The side pointing down represents the thief who cursed Christ. The starburst above the cross represents the Light of Christ.
