Celtic Crosses

The Irish celtic cross is a major symbol of christianity, orginating in pagan times that combines a cross with a circular ring surrounding the interssection of the cross

Today it is a characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity despite originating during pagan pre-christian times. Such crosses formed a major part of Celtic art. This design is also referred to as the Irish Cross, or as the Cross of Iona.

In Celtic regions of Ireland and Great Britain many free-standing upright crosses – or high crosses – were erected, beginning at least as early as the 7th Century.
