St. James Cross with Baptism Shell

The St. James cross is an espada, a symbol between a cross and a sword. It was used during the Crusades to promote the Christian ideal of leading an evangelical life while fighting the infidel with arms.
The shell is an ancient symbol of baptism and in early Christian art John is often depicted baptizing Christ with water poured from a scallop shell.
