Holy Cross

Not all crosses are holy. In fact given the proliferation of decorative crosses used in jewellery such as necklaces, tattoos, organisational logos, etc., a Holy Cross is rather exceptional.

Specifically, the Holy Cross is used to refer to the True Cross on which Jesus was crucified.

In general, Holy Cross distinguishes the cross as religious and not simply a decoration.
