Byzantine Cross

[beginner]

Could any one help me find a pattern for a Byzantine Cross?  Our pastor's home was borken into the other day and one of the items taken was the Byzantine Cross.  I thought that I could possibly scroll one.  Thank you for any help

Hi Jim

I googled around a bit. I found this, but am not sure wheter it has a copyright on it so I will add the link. Is this the type of cross you are looking for, as in my mind this is a byzantine cross but I might be wrong.

It's under religion and somewhere to the end, just click through and you will find it along with other very great patterns.

is a byzantine cross really such one like David posted it?

I thought it would be one with those bold, decorated ends like the one Sue May has:

Torsten,
There are several different styles to the Byzantine Cross.  I haven't seen Sue Mays.  The one I was looking for is like you described.  I am working on it now.

Learned something new today, was not sure what type of cross it was to begin with, so googled it and was "told" what I posted. So what did I learn, don't always believe the info wiki gives you.
Thanks for enlightning me Torsten and Beginner.

David,
I don't know it ether! I was just wondering, never have seen the one you showed here.

But Jim has found what he was looking for - keep the bragging thing in mind!

I think so too!

I did a little research.
The ones I was thinking about are more known as "Victorian Cross".
A real "Byzantine Cross" is what David posted.

So let's see what Jim has figured out.
