Greek cross (crux quadrata): An ancient type of cross with arms of equal length.
It is the absolute simplification of the symbol. It is concentration in a pure state.

The meaning of the Greek cross is protection and balance, due to its symmetrical shape with arms of the same size. It is also believed that the Greek cross represents God, while on the other hand, the Latin cross, which we all know, is a representation of Christ's crucifixion.

Although its name suggests it was born and mainly used in Greece, the Greek Cross is not actually of Greek origin. It appeared in the East among the Christians inhabiting those territories. The cross was based on the Cross of Immisa, where Jesus died, but with the arm shortened, giving it a symmetrical aesthetic so it could be viewed the same way from any direction.

It is believed that the use of this cross in the East was influenced by the Vera Cruz found in Jerusalem. Helena of Constantinople, also known as Saint Helena, dedicated her life to finding the relics of the Vera Cruz (the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified). She traveled to Jerusalem around the year 326 to discover its location.

Finally, he said he found the place where the true cross and the tomb of Jesus were located. Then his son Constantine built a church at his mother's request on the same site where an ancient temple dedicated to Venus (for the Romans) or Aphrodite (for the Greeks) had already been erected. This church was known as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, located in the Old City area of Jerusalem.

After finding the cross where Jesus Christ was crucified, Saint Helena cut off the lower part of the Cross (approximately one-fifth of its height) and sent it to Rome as a relic, known as Lignum Crucis. She then left the remaining cross in Jerusalem, which, after being sawn, was shaped into a Greek cross.
