PROCESSIONAL CROSSES

The Seraphim Cross

This cross is used to lead processions at the parish Eucharists. It was designed by the same artists who executed the triptych, altar, font and tower weathervane. The cross is a rendering in visual form of the intonation of the seraphim around the throne of God - the Trisagion or thrice holy. A richly ornamented cross, depictions of seraphim radiate from the four quarters of a trefoil cross. The trinitarian motif is carried out in the trefoil vine scroll which decorates the sides of the cross.

The Icon Cross
This cross is also used to lead processions at the parish Eucharists. It is a Byzantine-style Cross in trefoil shape with a circle of gold radiance at its center. The cross has iconography on its front and back. The central figure is of the crucified Christ and there are representations of the four evangelists, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John in the buds at the four extremities of the cross.

The Cross and Crown
This processional cross was designed by Potter Art Metal Studios of Dallas and incorporates semi-precious jewels given by members of the parish. The cross of silver and brass plate was commissioned in 2003.
