Rose Cross | Rosicrucian

The Rose Cross — a Latin cross with a rose at the precise center of the intersection. The founding symbol of the Rosicrucian Brotherhood, whose manifestos (1614-1616) announced to Europe the existence of a secret fraternity of philosopher-physicians dedicated to universal reform. The rose: beauty, secrecy, the unfolding of the soul. The cross: sacrifice, structure, the material world. Catalog No. 7101.
