T-shaped cross

A T-beam, used in construction, is a load-bearing structure of reinforced concrete, wood or metal, with a t-shaped cross section.

The top of the t-shaped cross section serves as a flange or compression member in resisting compressive stresses.

The T-shaped cross is Saint Anthony's cross, and thus a reference to the local patron saint.

Additionally, they hold that the cross upon which Jesus was crucified was not the traditional t-shaped cross, but rather a stake or the trunk of a tree.

The charge below this, the T-shaped cross, is Saint Anthony's attribute, thus representing the municipality's patron saint.

An ornament of the chancel is a living vine-plant behind the altar, its branches climbing up on a T-shaped cross, symbolising Nature, with large stones at its foot and the light streaming in from above through a large V-shaped glass roof.
