Es la simplificación más absoluta del símbolo. Es la concentración en estado puro. El significado de la Cruz Griega es el de protección y equilibrio, debido a su forma simétrica con brazos del mismo tamaño. También se cree que la cruz griega es una representación de Dios y por otro lado la cruz latina que todos conocemos es la representación de la crucifixión de Cristo. La Cruz Griega a pesar de que su nombre indica que nació y se utilizó principalmente en Grecia, no es así. La Cruz Griega hace su aparición en Oriente por los cristianos que habitaban aquellos territorios. La cruz estaba basada en la Cruz de Immisa donde murió Jesús pero con el palo acortado, dándole una estética simétrica para poder verla de la misma manera desde cualquier dirección. Se cree que el uso de esta cruz en Oriente estuvo influenciado por la Verdadera Cruz encontrada en Jerusalén. Elena de Constantinopla, también conocida como Santa Elena, dedicó su vida a encontrar las reliquias de la Vera Cruz (la cruz donde fue crucificado Jesucristo). Viajó a Jerusalén alrededor del año 326 para descubrir su ubicación. Finalmente le dijo que buscara el lugar donde se encontraba la verdadera cruz y la tumba de Jesús. Luego, su hijo Constantino construyó una iglesia a petición de su madre en el mismo lugar donde ya había un antiguo templo erigido a Venus (para los romanos) o a Afrodita (para los griegos). Esta iglesia era conocida como la Iglesia del Santo Sepulcro, situada en la zona de la ciudad antigua de Jerusalén. Después de encontrar la cruz donde murió Jesucristo, Santa Elena cortó la parte inferior de la Cruz (aproximadamente una quinta parte de su altura) y la envió a Roma como reliquia, conocida como Lignum Crucis. Luego dejó en Jerusalén la cruz restante, la cual, después de ser aserrada, quedó en forma de cruz griega. El jaspe imperial azul te conecta con el mundo espiritual, equilibra la energía yin-yang. Tiene un efecto refrescante y sedante; Favorece la relajación, la sinceridad y la franqueza. Además, ayuda a superar el miedo y recuperar el ánimo, a desarrollar la fuerza y ​​el equilibrio interior.

Greek cross (crux quadrata): An ancient type of cross with arms of equal length.
It is the most absolute simplification of the symbol. It is concentration in its purest form.

The meaning of the Greek Cross is protection and balance, due to its symmetrical shape with arms of the same size. It is also believed that the Greek cross is a representation of God and on the other hand the Latin cross that we all know is the representation of the crucifixion of Christ.

The Greek Cross, despite its name indicating that it was born and used primarily in Greece, is not so. The Greek Cross first appeared in the East by the Christians who inhabited those territories. The cross was based on the Cross of Immisa where Jesus died, but with the shortened arm, giving it a symmetrical aesthetic so it could be seen the same way from any direction.

It is believed that the use of this cross in the East was influenced by the True Cross found in Jerusalem. Helena of Constantinople, also known as Saint Helena, dedicated her life to finding the relics of the True Cross (the cross on which Jesus Christ was crucified). She traveled to Jerusalem around the year 326 to discover its location. Finally, she was told to seek the place where the true cross and the tomb of Jesus were located. Then, her son Constantine built a church at his mother's request in the same place where there was already an ancient temple erected to Venus (for the Romans) or to Aphrodite (for the Greeks). This church was known as the Church of the Holy Sepulchre, located in the area of the ancient city of Jerusalem.

After finding the cross where Jesus Christ died, Saint Helena cut the lower part of the Cross (about a fifth of its height) and sent it to Rome as a relic, known as Lignum Crucis. She then left the remaining cross in Jerusalem, which, after being sawed, took the shape of a Greek cross.

The blue imperial jasper connects you with the spiritual world, balancing the yin-yang energy. It has a refreshing and calming effect; it promotes relaxation, sincerity, and frankness. Additionally, it helps to overcome fear and regain confidence, developing strength and inner balance.
