The Tau, a symbol resembling the letter “T”, is a significant emblem in Franciscan spirituality. It represents St. Francis’s devotion to the cross of Christ and his call for personal conversion and living a life of poverty, chastity, and obedience. Franciscans often wear the Tau Cross, sometimes with three knots symbolizing their vows, as a reminder of their commitment to Christ and the transformative power of His love.
