The Greek Cross Chrismon

A Greek cross pattern for Chrismon crafts.

Left, a simple Greek cross symbol. Center, Flag of Greece. Right, Crosses frame this cube that appears to be hollow or solid and projected either inward or outward. A similar design was photographed in a crop circle. This design can be made by repeating the central hexagon outward once on all 6 sides then erasing some inner line segments and filling in the voids.

       The Greek Cross consists of four arms, all of equal length and thickness, and capable of being inclosed in a circle. It is the Cross of S. George, the patron Saint of England (he is supposed to have been an Eastern Bishop), and is borne on the national Flag in Gules (red) on a white ground. It also belongs to the arms of the City of London, where it bears on it the " Sword" of S. Paul, the patron Saint of the metropolis.
       If you don't want to cut a Greek cross from wood or Styrofoam, you could just fold one from heavy cardstock or decorative paper. The folding tutorial below is done with napkins but any light weight materials may be used for folding.
       This idea would also look nice for a formal Christmas table setting at a church dinner I think.

        "Learn how to fold into a Greek Cross from a paper napkin. You can also use starched cloth napkins. Very simple instruction (step by step). Creative napkin folds."
