Medieval silver Knights Templar ring showing engraved inscriptions divided between horizontal lines.  

On top a short (early) Templar cross and abbreviations : XHM -- NHλ --, translated ΧΗΜ: Χριστός, Christ and ΝΗΛ: Νήπιος, infant or child. Star below. 

The inscriptions refers to Jesus Christ during his early years. The term refers to a period of Jesus' life, described in the canonical Gospels, encompassing his nativity in Bethlehem, the visit of the Magi, and his presentation at the Temple in Jerusalem. It also includes his childhood, culminating in the event where his parents find him in the Temple at age 12, after which the Gospels remain silent about his life until the start of his ministry.

TEMPLAR CROSS
The Templar cross, also known as the cross pattée, is one of the most iconic symbols associated with the Order of the Knights Templar. They adopted a red cross on their white robes in 1147, but there was no specific style designated, and different Templars used different versions of cross. 

For the Templars, wearing this cross served as a constant reminder of their sacred mission and of their vocation to imitate Christ, not only through their prayers, but also through their commitment on the battlefield.

The cross pattée became a symbol of the bravery and self-sacrifice of the Templars. It was not simply a religious emblem: it served as a mark of membership in a powerful, respected, but also feared order in the medieval world. 

To the present day Christians wear crosses and sacred pendants close to their hearts as tangible signs of their faith and Gods presence in their lives.
