A Latin Cross Chrismon

The Latin cross is perhaps the most recognizable cross worldwide.
 Download this one to use as a template for your next Chrismon craft.
Left, a simple Latin cross symbol. Center, Cross in Valle de los Caídos near Madrid, the highest cross in the world. Right, Tile cross from Rødtvet Church in Oslo, Norway, built in 1978.
The Latin Cross consists of four limbs: the lowest called the foot ought to be longer than the two arms joined together; the summit should be the length of one arm; the arms must be of equal length to each other. All the limbs must be of exactly the same thickness or breadth.
