Processional cross

A processional cross is a large cross used in Christian liturgical ceremonies, typically carried at the front of a procession. It serves as a symbolic representation of Christ's sacrifice and the faith of the congregation. Usually made of wood or metal, the cross may be adorned with images or decorations. During services, it is prominently displayed, guiding worshippers and setting a reverent tone. The processional cross highlights the spiritual journey of the service, reminding participants of their beliefs and traditions. It is an important visual element in many church gatherings and religious events.
