WHAT IS THE INVERTED ST. PETER’S CROSS?
The Inverted St. Peter’s Cross, also known as the Petrine Cross, is an upside-down Latin cross. According to Catholic tradition, St. Peter requested to be crucified upside down because he felt unworthy to die in the same manner as Jesus Christ. This cross symbolizes humility and the unique sacrifice of St. Peter.
While the Petrine Cross is a revered Christian symbol, it has also been controversially associated with anti-religious sentiments and Satanism, due to its inversion of the traditional Latin Cross. Despite these modern associations, the true origin of the St. Peter’s Cross remains rooted in Christian history as a symbol of profound humility.
