The Templar Cross, of red on white mantle, is one of the most iconic and significant symbols in all of medieval history. The icon of the Knight's Templar, the religious military order founded in the 12thC during the Crusades, is built of the red cross on white mantle. The red of the cross represents both the sacrifice of Christ and the protective and patriarchal role the Templars fulfilled for pilgrims to the Holy Land. The white shield is displaying their purity and sanctity as holy warriors; the combination of the two symbols into one constitutes the crusading Templar's dual role as both military and spiritual paragons.

This pendant features the Templar Cross emblazoned upon the centre of a larger crucifix, showing the significance of the Templars to the wider faith. This pendant also comes with a go ldcoloured chain.
