wooden cross

Carved religious symbol

A wooden cross is a cross made of wood, the form associated with the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and central to Christian symbolism.

Wooden crosses mark graves, stand in churches, and appear as devotional objects.

The phrase often evokes simplicity or humility compared to ornate metal or jeweled versions: A simple wooden cross marked the spot where he fell.
