About the cross of lorraine symbol

The Cross of Lorraine is spoken as the "Cross of Lorraine" or sometimes the "patriarchal cross." It features two horizontal bars, with the upper bar shorter than the lower one, set on a vertical upright. Historically, this symbol is associated with the Duchy of Lorraine in France and was used by Joan of Arc. In modern contexts, it is employed as a heraldic emblem and appears in the logos of certain organizations, notably the anti-tuberculosis crusade. As a religious symbol, it is a variant of the Christian cross, though it is less common in everyday worship than the Latin cross.
