Cross Drawings

Here is a large variety of cross drawings.

The most popular or well known types of crosses drawings are displayed.

If you want to do some drawings of crosses, make sure you use a 2B pencil or thicker to hide the fact that your lines aren't quite straight.

I haven't done a very good job at all but I'm happy to try drawing crosses without a ruler.

This is a Celtic cross.

Below you'll find an explanation of some of the crosses drawn here.

This is St Andrew's cross.

The cross is a symbol of christianity.

There are eight crosses made famous in the history of religion and they are:

• Latin
• Greek
• St Anthony's
• St Andrew's
• Maltese
• Calvary
• Patriarchal
• Celtic

Jesus Christ was crucified on a cross and christians believe that His crucifixion played a pivotal role in redeeming humanity from its sins.

The cross is regarded as a sign of redemption.

This is the Calvary Cross. Calvary is the place near ancient Jerusalem where Jesus died.

The latin cross is predominantly used by Roman Catholics and Protestants. The main upright is longer than the horizontal cross piece placed above the center.

People make a sign of the cross with the right hand as an act of devotion.

A crucifix is a cross with an image of the dying Jesus.

Next time you visit a cathedral, have a look at the layout of the floor and how the seats are arranged. Cathedrals and some churches have floor plans based on the shape of the latin cross.

Eastern Orthodox churches use the Greek Cross which crosses at the center and all arms are equal length.

The Maltese cross was the symbol on the flags carried by the Knights of Saint John in the Crusades.

The Swastika is an ancient symbol or ornament like a cross and each arm is bent the same way to form right angles.

The symbol of the Nazi party was a swastika with the arms turning clockwise. The Allies banned the display of the nazi swastika after World War 2.

The Ankh symbolizes life in egyptian art and mythology.

This is the Avellan cross on the left and the Fleury cross.

The hardest part of cross drawings is trying to keep the lines straight.

I didn't include the crucifix in the crosses drawings because my focus was to provide simple drawings of crosses.
