The Celtic Cross is a fascinating symbol that blends Christian and Celtic traditions. One of the most famous examples is the Cross of Scriptures at Clonmacnoise in Ireland. This cross, carved from sandstone, stands about four meters high and is adorned with intricate panels depicting scenes from the Bible, such as the Crucifixion, the Last Judgement, and Christ in the Tomb.
The Celtic Cross itself typically features a cross with a circle around the intersection of the arms. This circle is often interpreted as a symbol of eternity, the sun, or the halo of Christ. The origins of the Celtic Cross are believed to date back to the early Middle Ages, with some theories suggesting it was introduced by St. Patrick to help convert pagan kings to Christianity.
📜 Celtic Press History
Celtic Press traces its roots to the work of Restoration Ministries, which was active since the 1980s distributing the works of E. Raymond Capt and other noted scholars. In 2000, Dr. Stephen M. B. Knott was appointed Editor of the Ministry Newsletter, and by 2003, he became manager of the Celts' Roots Bookshop, a publishing and outreach initiative originally founded by Dr. Warren Johnson.
We owe a debt of gratitude to Dr. Johnson and E. Raymond Capt, M.A., A.I.A., F.S.A. (Scot.), Fellow of the Society of Antiquaries of Scotland, whose guidance, scholarship, and vision were instrumental in our early years.
Since those beginnings, Celtic Press has continued to serve at festivals and events, offering books, media, and cultural materials that preserve and celebrate the living legacy of Celtic heritage.
