The X shape is very popular in churches, in coat of arms, and in flags, like the Scottish flag with the St.Andrew cross and the Irish flag with the St. Patrick cross.( still used in Northern Ireland)

It is called The St. Andrew's Cross (or Saltire). St. Andrew is believed to have been martyred on such a cross.
Yay! Beautiful X's

More X's. You've done so well this week.
This is very clever I think, and lots of beautiful old buldings too.
Lovely church shots! And enjoyed your comments too!
You found some beauties. I like them all...
I visited many many churches but I had never looked carefully at these "X" shapes. Thanks for having opened my eyes! I wish you a wonderful Wednesday!
There are certainly plenty of x' s to choose from in such beautiful buidings.
Oh very creative approach to X!
Nice photos too.
I wish I could think of something besides xylophone.
How ever I do have one to photograph! :)

I was looking for a road sign with X, but that is probably history due to roundabouts.
Your crosses are great.

Those are lovely Xs. I couldn't think of anything yet you have shown that when we are observant we will see many!
