As we are Infant Jesus Sisters, our cross has the symbolic shape of a star: it evokes the star of Bethlehem leading to Jesus, our God made man and even a little child. This cross is not a crucifix: it expresses our faith in the risen Christ, present and alive today by his Spirit in our humanity.
We can also see arms wide open in welcome, or the evocation of the crib. A rich symbol that speaks louder than any explanation
