Chain and Cross
The cross is so widely known as the symbol of Christ's suffering as to barely need mentioning. The chains offer a like symbol of the sufferings of Baha'u'llah beginning with His incarceration in the prison called the Siyah-Chal. All that follows is inspired by those formidable shared ordeals inflicted by the hands of man. (Harkener Totus)

Harkener Totus - About Me
Long ago, Christ answered the prayer of a boy yearning to recognize His return. He led me to Baha'u'llah. Baha'u'llah, in turn, had healed me of doubts and resentments about my Christian beginnings and led me to Christ. Reader, I must tell you, the foundational unity of religion is far and away more than mere philosophical and theological rationale and accord. It is more than collegiality amongst adherents of diverse paths. It is even more than the spiritual bonding through many varied acts of prayer and devotions. It is simply and deeply the purest essence of spiritual reality. Friend, go beyond the words. Listen the the whole of the logos wherever you find it.
