DescriptionCathayan Nestorian Cross from the Nestorian Stele.jpg
English: The Cross sculptured on the famous Nestorian Monument at Hsi-an-fu. It stands in the middle of a dense cloud which is symbolic of Muhammadanism, and upon a lotus, which symbolises Buddhism; its position indicates the triumph of the Luminous Religion of Christ over the religions of Muhammad and the Buddha. The sprays of flowers, one on each side, are said to indicate rebirth and joy.
