  • Sign of the Cross
rdfs:comment
  • In the Name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirt. Amen.
  • The Sign of the Cross (Latin: Signum Crucis) is a ritual hand motion made by members of many branches of Christianity. It may be accompanied by the trinitarian formula. For Christians, the motion symbolizes the Cross on Calvary by tracing the shape of the cross in the air or on one's own body. There are two principal forms, one form used in the Latin-Rite Catholic Church and used in Anglicanism, Lutheranism, Methodism, and Oriental Orthodoxy; the other form is used in the Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church and in the Eastern Orthodox churches. The sign is never or rarely used by evangelical or more modern groups of Protestants.
