[[Image:David Christ on the Cross.jpg|right|200px|thumb|Christ on the Cross by [[Jacques Louis David]].]]
'''[[Jesus Christ]]''' died on a '''Cross''' after suffering and giving up his spirit. The Cross of Christ, and the atonement He accomplished on it, are the very grounds that anyone who can be saved will be saved. The Cross is the best-known symbol of [[Christianity]], called by Clement of Alexandria "the Lord's sign". ''In the earliest Christian life, as can be seen from the metaphorical language of the primitive faithful, the cross was the symbol of the principal Christian virtue, i.e. mortification or victory over the passions, and suffering for Christ's sake and in union with Him.'' <ref>[http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04517a.htm Archæology of the Cross and Crucifix.]</ref>
