Description

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.
