The Tau cross was used to martyr Saint Philip. Because of his role in the feeding of the Five Thousand, Saint Philip is symbolized by the bread basket, John 6:5-7:

6:5. When Jesus therefore had lifted up His eyes and seen that a very great multitude had come to Him, He said to Philip, “From where shall we buy bread that these people may eat?”

6:6. He said this to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do.

6:7. Philip answered Him, “Two hundred days' wages of bread is not sufficient for everyone to take a little.”
