The History of the Huguenot Cross
The Huguenots were French Christians who followed the teachings of John Calvin when the Reformation swept through Europe. The movement started in Paris, in 1555, from a small group meeting in a home. In 1560, they adopted the name Huguenot. There are several theories as to the origin of the word, one of which is a combination of two phrases meaning “home worship.” The Huguenots became a powerful force for Christ in France, but came under severe persecution from the French government. The torturous oppression was devastating, so the Huguenots fled France in the 17th Century, forming settlements all over Europe, England, and the United States. The Huguenot Cross symbolizes the victorious glory of the Cross and the power of the Holy Spirit. A Maltese Cross, formed by a four-petalled “Lily of France,” symbolizes the four Gospels. Rounded points represent the eight Beatitudes. Four Fleur-de-lis, with three petals each, signify the twelve Apostles. The open spaces are heart-shaped, while a pendant dove signifies the Holy Ghost.
