I. The Crucifixion and Redemption of Jesus

• Symbol of Jesus' Sacrifice: In Christian belief, the cross is a symbol of the crucifixion, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. According to the New Testament, Jesus was crucified on the cross, atoning for the sins of humanity with his own life and bearing the sins and punishments of mankind. The image of Jesus carved on this wooden cross, with his arms outstretched as if embracing the world, surrounded by a halo, symbolizes divinity and redemption. His crucifixion is regarded as a great act of redemption. Through his sacrifice, he opened the way to God and eternal life for humanity.
• Sign of Redemption: For Christians, the cross is the sign of redemption and a symbol of hope. It reminds believers that Jesus' love and sacrifice are unconditional. As long as they believe in him, they can obtain the salvation of their souls and the promise of eternal life. When believers see the cross, they are reminded of Jesus' grace, which inspires them to follow Jesus' teachings in life, to do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with God.

II. Symbol of the Holy Spirit

• The Dove on Top: The dove carved on the top of the cross is usually regarded as a symbol of the Holy Spirit. In Christian doctrine, the Holy Spirit is one of the three persons of the Trinity God, equally important as the Father and the Son (Jesus Christ). The Holy Spirit plays the role of guiding, revealing, and empowering in the lives of believers. The image of the dove on the cross further emphasizes the Trinity of God and the important role of the Holy Spirit in the process of redemption. It symbolizes that the Spirit of God is with the believers, giving them comfort, wisdom, and strength to help them grow and persevere on the path of faith.

III. Divinity and Eternity

• The Halo and Carving Details: The halo around Jesus and the overall carving details on the cross convey a sacred and solemn atmosphere. The halo symbolizes the divinity and holiness of Jesus, indicating that he is not only a mortal but also the Son of God, with a divine nature and supreme glory. These carving details are not only exquisite artistic presentations but also religiously reinforce the sacred message carried by the cross, reminding believers of the greatness and inviolability of God.
• Eternal Life: The cross also symbolizes eternal life. The resurrection of Jesus is one of the core doctrines of the Christian faith, proving that death is not the end but a transition to eternal life. Therefore, the wooden cross has become a symbol of Christians' hope for the afterlife and eternal life, encouraging them to hold on to their faith in this earthly life and believe that there is eternal life and happiness waiting for them in Jesus Christ.

IV. Witness and Reminder of Faith

• Symbol of Faith: For Christians, placing a wooden cross in their homes or churches is a public witness of their faith. It shows their belief and following of Jesus Christ to themselves and others and is an important part of their spiritual life. Whenever they see the cross, believers are reminded to always remember Jesus' teachings and sacrifice and integrate their faith into all aspects of daily life, treating others with love and kindness and spreading the message of the Gospel.
• Focus of Prayer and Meditation: The cross is also often used as a focus for prayer and meditation. Believers may kneel in front of the cross to pray, concentrating their thoughts on Jesus and seeking communication with God and spiritual comfort. By gazing at the image of Jesus on the cross, believers can more deeply feel God's love and presence, strengthening their faith and spiritual growth.
