The Tau Cross is a T-shaped cross, sometimes with all three ends of the cross expanded. Much like any other type of Christian cross, it is a symbol of Jesus’ crucifixion and everything that it represents for Christians. A crucifix is an image of Jesus on the cross. Jesus Christ is the designation of Jesus of Nazareth who was an itinerant Jewish prophet from the Galilee in northern Israel. He preached the imminent intervention in human affairs by the God of the Jews, when God would establish his kingdom on earth. The proper name Jesus was Greek for the Hebrew Yeshua (“he who saves”). ‘Christ’ (Greek: Christos) was translated from the Hebrew “meshiach” (messiah). The representation of Jesus himself on the cross is referred to as the “corpus”. The crucifix is a principal symbol for many groups of Christians, and one of the most common forms of the Crucifixion in the arts.
