The Cross :- points towards sacrificial service that Jesus taught by his life and death on the cross. The two beams of the cross, one vertical and the other horizontal invite us to love God and fellow human beings by our own life. It is Christ who said, "There is no grater love that a man can have than to lay down his own life for his friends." It is the same love, God's love that Tagore longed to carry in his being. We read in Gitanjali. "Let me carry thy love in my life, as a harp does its music and give it back at last with my life."
