Greek Cross

The Greek Cross icon represents a cross with equal arms, often symbolizing Christianity and used in various religious contexts. It originated from ancient Greece and Rome, and its design features four equal arms that intersect at the center. The Greek Cross has been an important symbol in Christianity, representing the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ.

In real-world applications, the Greek Cross icon appears in various software and platforms related to religion, spirituality, and design. For instance, it can be found in graphic design tools like Adobe Illustrator, Canva, and Figma, where users can utilize the icon to create religious-themed artwork, logos, or graphics. Additionally, the icon may be used in educational software, websites, or apps focused on Christianity, church management, or religious studies.

From a UX perspective, the Greek Cross icon communicates a sense of spirituality, faith, and reverence. When used in digital interfaces, it helps users understand the context or purpose of a particular feature or section, such as a prayer or devotion section in a religious app. The icon's simple yet distinctive design makes it easily recognizable, allowing users to quickly identify and engage with relevant content.

Greek Cross is one of 514 icons in Röntgen, made by Sergey Vartanov and released under CC BY 4.0. It is drawn on a 16 × 16 grid.

Sign in (it's free), then open Get icon, Install with shadcn CLI, and pick your package manager to copy the command. It adds GreekCrossIcon to components/icons/roentgen-greek-cross.tsx: one file, a size prop (24 by default) and every SVG prop, with no icon package.

Copy it as React (from Get icon, or the Code section): a typed GreekCrossIcon component you paste into your project, with no package to install. Only the icons you import reach your bundle. It works in Next.js and any React app.

Open Get icon, then Copy as code, and pick Vue, Svelte, Angular, Solid or Preact; the Code section shows each one too. Every version is one self-contained component with the SVG inside, and SVG and data URL copies are there for plain HTML and CSS.

With Pro, the shadcn.io MCP server lets Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client find the Greek Cross icon, or any of 514 Röntgen icons, and install it from a prompt.

It's drawn in currentColor, so it takes the text color wherever you use it: a class like text-primary recolors it. To bake a color in, set one in Customize before you copy.

Set width and height on the component, or a class like size-6. It's drawn on a 16 × 16 grid, so it stays sharp at any size. Customize also sets the size it exports at, its padding and rotation.

Yes. It follows the text color, so with text-foreground (or any theme token) it changes with your light and dark themes. The icon is a vector, so it needs no separate dark asset.

Next to a visible label it's decoration: add aria-hidden="true" so screen readers skip it. Standing alone, as in an icon button, give the button a name instead, like aria-label="Greek Cross", so screen readers say what it does.

Yes. GreekCrossIcon passes every SVG prop to the svg element, so <GreekCrossIcon aria-hidden="true" /> works, and so do role="img" with aria-label, or a title child, when it carries meaning on its own.

Yes. Open Get icon, then Download file: SVG for code or design tools like Figma; PNG, WebP or JPEG at 512px; or an ICO favicon with 16, 32 and 48px inside. Each one uses what you set in Customize.

Yes, with credit: CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author (Sergey Vartanov) where you use the icons. The full terms are in the license, linked on this page.

Yes. CC BY 4.0 asks you to credit the author where you use the icons, for example "Icons by Sergey Vartanov, CC BY 4.0" on an about or credits page.

Yes. Copying and downloading it is free, and the shadcn CLI install only needs a free account.
