The Sign of the Cross is made in other ways as well: it can be made in the air to bless objects, and it may trace a very small trajectory, such as on the forehead. For a member of the Faith, perhaps the essential element of the Sign is that it physically indicates the direct relevance of the Cross, of the Sacrifice of [[Jesus]], to one's person or surroundings. It is an engagement of the body that affirms what the faithful professes. It is also a sign to others of what one professes.
