Celtic Cross
A Celtic cross is a symbol that combines the cross with a ring surrounding the intersection.
It is the characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity, though the symbol has older, pre-Christian origins. Such crosses formed a major part of Celtic art. This design is also referred to as the high cross, Irish Cross or the Cross of Iona.
In Ireland, it is a popular myth that the Celtic cross was introduced to the island by Saint Patrickor possibly Saint Declan during his time converting the pagan Irish. It is believed that he combined the symbol of Christianity, a cross, with the symbol of the sun (some believe it may alternatively be the moon), to give pagan followers an idea of the importance of the cross by linking it with the idea of the life-giving properties of the sun.
