Cross of Salem

The Cross of Salem is also known as a pontifical cross because it is similar to the papal cross. It is also similar to a patriarchal cross but has an additional crossbar below the main crossbar that is equal in length to the upper crossbar. The Cross of Salem is also similar to the Orthodox cross and is used by the supreme leadership of Scottish and York Rite Freemasonry.[1]
