The item is the Antique Sterling Silver Huguenot Cross Symbol Pin as photographed. Inscribed upon the back of the pin is "Sterling". Beautiful small pin with lots of religious heritage behind it. The 4 gospels are symbolized by a Maltese cross formed by a four petaled "Lily of France". The 8 beatitudes are the rounded points surrounding the cross. The 12 apostles are represented by 4 fleur-de-lis each with 3 petals with the open space from them creating a heart. The holy ghost is signified by the dove at the bottom of the pin. The Huguenots were French Protestants who fled persecution in France during the 16th and 17th centuries.
