How many different crosses are there?
There are many different crosses, as many different cultures have interpreted the cross. However, most crosses can be described as one of four types. The Greek cross features four arms, all the same length. The Latin cross features four arms, but the bottom-pointing arm is longer than the other three. The St. Anthony’s cross, which features two side arms and a bottom arm, but not top arm, and the crux decussata, which looks like the letter x.
