WHAT DOES PAPAL CROSS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

papal cross

Papal Cross

Papal cross A papal cross Rendition of the coat of arms of Pope Pius IX with supporters: two angels, each holding a papal cross. Statue of Pope Sylvester I depicted holding a ferula with a papal cross. For the pastoral staff carried by the Pope, see Papal ferula. "Triple cross" redirects here. For the film, see Triple Cross. The papal cross is an emblem for the office of the Pope in ecclesiastical heraldry. It is depicted as a staff with three horizontal bars near the top, in diminishing order of length as the top is approached. It is thus analogous to the two-barred archiepiscopal cross used in heraldry to indicate an archbishop, and seems to have been used precisely to indicate an ecclesiastical rank still higher than that of archbishop. In the past, this design of the cross was often used in ecclesiastical heraldry as a distinctive mark of his office. It was often merely an artistic device, as use of a staff or crosier was not part of the traditional papal insignia. However, at least one staff surmounted with a papal cross does exist.
