The "Five Wounds Cross" is a cross in which the embodiment of the crucified is reduced to attributes of the wounds: hands and feet with the nail wounds, a crown of thorns and the heart of Jesus pierced.
The commemoration of the holy wounds gained momentum from the 13th century and was intended to protect against unforeseen death. This is why it can be found, for example, on weather crosses from the Baroque period and memorial crosses for accidents.
