The arms close in square panels, each filled with a heart-shaped leaf and a small fleur, and the corpus hangs against a burst of rays cut into the grained ground. At the foot of the shaft are the skull and crossbones, the old sign of Adam's grave at Golgotha, set beneath the cross as a reminder that the death of Christ undoes the first death.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAbove the head is the titulus lettered \u003cem\u003eINRI\u003c\/em\u003e, for \u003cem\u003eIesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum\u003c\/em\u003e — Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews — the words Pilate ordered fixed to the cross and the Church has kept there ever since.
