The Cross of Saint Peter, also known as the Petrine Cross, is an inverted Latin cross traditionally used as a Christian symbol, associated with the martyrdom of Saint Peter. In recent times, it has also been used as an anti-Christian and Satanic symbol. The symbol originates from the Catholic tradition that when sentenced to death, Peter requested that his cross be upside down.
