Kneeling stool needlework cover from Trinity Church, Boston. This cover represents the Jerusalem Cross. It served as the cross for the Crusaders, with the four arms representing the spread of Christianity to the four corners of the earth. The smaller crosses are symbolic of the four gospels, the cornerstone of the story of Jesus' life. Donated by Anne Richardson, Nashville, TN. |
