holy symbols

Religious devotional objects

Holy symbols are objects representing religious faith, used in worship, ritual, or spiritual protection.

Crosses, crucifixes, Stars of David, and crescent moons function as holy symbols for their respective traditions.

In fantasy games, clerics and paladins channel divine power through holy symbols as ritual implements: She held up her holy symbol to turn the undead.
