St. Anthony's Cross is a symbol of the Franciscan Order, which was founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1209. The symbol is composed of a TAU cross, which is a T-shaped cross with a circle at the top. The TAU cross is also known as St. Anthony's Cross, and it is believed to be the type of cross that Jesus was crucified on. The TAU cross is a symbol of humility, poverty, and simplicity, which are all values that St. Francis of Assisi held dear.
