Fleurie Cross
The Fleurie Cross represents faith, wisdom and chivalry when used in heraldry, and the Holy Trinity when used as a Christian Cross.
Fleurie Cross
also called Flory, Floretty, Fleurettee or Fleuronny Cross
Fleurie Cross
Fleur-de-lis Cross
Patonce Cross
The Fleurie Cross is a cross adorned with liliform ends. With smaller petals, it takes the name Fleurettee.
The pattern is very similar to the Fleur-de-lis Cross and the Patonce Cross. Not only do the arm-ends represent flowers, but they also have the appearance of horns or crowns. Therefore these crosses are used mainly in heraldry, especially in France.
Fleurie, with its many spelling variations, is the name given to the Côte Fleurie (Flowering Coast) in Normandy, northern France, with its bizarre tourist 'attraction' of the D-Day landing beaches.
In both the Fleurie Cross and the Fleur-de-lis Cross, the three petals represent faith, wisdom and chivalry when used in heraldry, and the Trinity when used as a Christian Cross.
