Cross (from Latin "crux", a Roman torture device used for crucifixion) is a geometrical figure consisting of two lines or bars perpendicular to each other, dividing one or two of the lines in half. The lines usually run vertically and horizontally; if they run obliquely, the design is technically termed a saltire, although the arms of a saltire need not meet at right angles. Let's also not forget that ✙ cross, along with ☾ crescent also are symbol of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement - international humanitarian movement with approximately 97 million volunteers, members and staff worldwide.
