English term or phrase: like the cross of our Lord
Hola,

¿existe alguna expresión en español con el mismo sentido?


Contexto: Habla la reina de Inglaterra Isabel I. Alguien le habla de la belleza de María de Escocia, y ella dice:
Walsingham will not be swayed by the beauty. He wears his duty to a Protestant England like the cross of our Lord.

Gracias
