The Latin Cross is a symbol of Christianity, one of the world’s major religions. Christianity is based on the teachings of Jesus of Nazareth, a first-century religious teacher. Its sacred book is the Bible, including both the New and Old (Hebrew) Testaments. Christians believe Jesus is the Messiah, or Christ, whose appearance was foretold in the Old Testament. Jesus used parables to convey a message of peace, tolerance, and forgiveness. The Latin Cross reminds followers of his sacrifice and resurrection. The cross forms the floor plan for many Christian cathedrals and churches.

The knitting itself is not complicated, but it is important to count and follow chart (or written instructions) accurately. The knitting is basic; the chart following is basic (for a given row, all stitches are on one chart); and the chart management is basic (entire design is on one chart).

Charts and written instructions were created using Stitchmastery software.
