An upside down crucifix or cross is called the Saint Peter Cross as Peter is said to have been crucified in that manner, not feeling he was worthy to die in the same way as Our Lord.
Recently, however, it is common for the upside-down cross to be used as a symbol of Atheism, Humanism, and the occult.
