The '''Sign of the Cross''' is a hand motion common in the religious devotions and [[worship]] services of [[Roman Catholic]], [[Anglican]], [[Eastern Orthodox]], and some [[Lutheran]] Christians. It is commonly done accompanying the recitation of the words "In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit", a reference to the [[Trinity]]. The Sign of the Cross is made by touching the hand to the forehead, the sternum, and then to each shoulder, symbolizing the Cross of [[Christ]].
