Description: This powerful deus vult design features the iconic Jerusalem Cross, the battle cry of the First Crusade meaning "God wills it." This design is perfect for enthusiasts of medieval history, the Knights Templar, and those who embrace their Catholic faith and crusader heritage. It's a bold graphic that symbolizes Christian valor, dedication, and the defense of the Holy Land.
Description: The Jerusalem Cross is an important symbol of Christianity and represents Christ's command to spread the gospel from Jerusalem all over the world. It has been interpreted differently throughout history, some claim that the bars represent the gospels of the Bible and others believe that they represent the nations from which the crusaders came. The Christogram IHS is a monogram symbolizing Jesus Christ. From Greek it is an abbreviation of the name IHΣΟΥΣ (Jesus).
Description: Chi Rho are the first two letters of the word Christ in Greek (Greek: "Χριστός"). The Chi Rho monogram is one of the earliest symbols used by Christians. The monogram is also reminiscent of the cross of Christ and thus the crucifixion. This Christogram is thus a symbol of the early Christians. The words Alpha and Omega come from the phrase "I am the Alpha and the Omega" (Ancient Greek: τὸ Α καὶ τὸ Ω), a designation of Jesus in the Book of Revelation, because Jesus is the beginning and the end and the letters Alpha (Α) and Omega (Ω) are the first and last letters of the classical Greek alphabet, respectively.
Description: “God wills it.” Deus vult is the historic cry recorded during the preaching of the First Crusade at the Council of Clermont in 1095. The phrase became a declaration that the will of God must stand above human fear and hesitation. Rendered in a restrained Roman inscription style on a black field and accompanied by a red crusader cross, this design reflects the stark conviction and medieval symbolism associated with the phrase. Severe. Sacred. Timeless.
