There are a number of different Christian Patches on The Cheap Place for those who follow the Christian tradition. The cross is one of the most popular symbols in Christianity. Sometimes it is a simple cross, while other times it is decorative or features Jesus crucified on it. Sometimes, though, the cross is represented as the large middle cross in between two others. This symbol is represented by the Three Crosses Patch.
According to the Gospel, Jesus was crucified between two thieves. In Luke, one supposedly mocked him, while the other asked for remembrance. Both Matthew and Mark claim that the two thieves both mocked and insulted Jesus. The Gospel of John simply mentioned that Jesus was crucified between two other people, but it doesn't say much about them.
What does the three crosses symbol mean? It stands for different things to different people. One of the most common interpretations is that it stands for choice. Even while dying, one thief made the choice to believe in Jesus as his savior, while the other made the choice to mock him. Another interpretation is that it reminds us that the cross itself isn't what's special or unique?it's the one who was crucified that matters.
If you prefer to wear the three crosses instead of one single cross, this patch will make a nice addition to your jacket or vest. It measures 2.25 by 2.5 inches and is done in white embroidery on a black background. It has heat-activated adhesive on the back that allows you to attach it to any material except leather, for leather, you should sew it on because the heat will damage the material.
