Celtic Crosses
 | The Celtic Cross
The Celtic cross is a traditional Christian cross with a circle overlying the point where the lines meet. The Celtic Cross evolved in Ireland and parts of Britain from the 7th to 9th centuries AD. During the 19th-20th century's Celtic Revival new monuments in this style were crafted in Ireland, Scotland, Wales and Cornwall, and to a lesser extent, in Brittany and Galicia as a new expression of pan-Celticism. An Irish legend tells how St. Patrick created the first Celtic Cross by drawing a circle over a Latin Cross to incorporate a pagan moon symbol. Today, the circle in the Celtic Cross is a symbol of eternity and represents a halo emanating from Christ. |
