Latin cross
A Latin cross or crux immissa is a type of cross in which the vertical beam sticks above the crossbeam, with the three upper arms either equally long or with the vertical topmost arm shorter than the two horizontal arms, and always with a much longer bottom arm.If displayed upside down it is called St. Peter's Cross, because he was reputedly executed on this type of cross. When displayed sideways it is called St. Philip's cross for the same reason.

latin cross
A Latin Cross is a type of cross symbol, most recognized as a representation of Christianity. It is characterized by a long downward vertical beam intersected near the top by a shorter horizontal beam. The vertical beam is longer than the horizontal, making the structure uneven. It is known as "Latin" because it was used as the symbol for the crucifixion of Jesus Christ in Western Christianity, which used the Latin language in liturgy historically.
