Jerusalem Cross

I bought this last year when I visited Jerusalem, and wear if often. We saw this symbol in many places around the old City, in the ground, in stonework, incorporated into railings.

The shape of the cross is sometimes known as the Crusaders' Cross. The four smaller crosses symbolise either the four gospels, or the four directions that the Word of Christ spread from Jerusalem.
