Religious Symbol of the Cross in Church Stained Glass Windows

The Cross Symbol is an important symbol in Church Stained Glass Windows. Some forms of the cross which pertain to Christianity include:
Adorned Cross: Decorated with flowers, especially lilies which is very popular at Easter.
Anchor Cross: Symbol of faith and hope in Jesus Christ.
Aiguisee Cross: The pointed cross is a symbol Jesus' suffering.
Celtic Cross: A very decorated cross used by Christians in Great Britain, Ireland, and other places. This cross symbol was once used to separate Protestants from Roman Catholics.
When church stained glass window panels are designed and constructed, the symbol of the cross is a very powerful tool.
