Protestant Symbol

The most common symbol for Protestant churches of every variety is the cross. Most Protestant churches have a cross in the front of the sanctuary. For Protestants, the cross symbolizes the centrality of the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ as the fullest revelation of God to humanity. Most Protestant crosses are not crucifixes; that is, they do not have the body of Jesus portrayed. They are empty crosses, emphasizing the resurrection and the completed work of Christ.
