Cherished Ancient Celtic Symbol of Faith and Heritage
Traditional Celtic High Crosses are ancient, historic stone monuments that were erected throughout Ireland between the 8th and 12th centuries. They are recognised masterpieces of early medieval European art. Approximately 250 to 300 of these historic stone crosses remain in Ireland today, found amongst early Christian monastic ruins.
The iconic Celtic Cross is easily recognised due to the circular ring that surrounds the four arms of the cross. The shape of the cross, with its distinctive orb, represents harmony, inclusion, compassion, and completeness. It also symbolizes the mystical connection between heaven and earth.
Ancient stone crosses are scattered across the landscapes of the Emerald Isle. These Celtic crosses combine the ancient wisdom of the old Celtic ways with one of the most recognized and revered icons - The Christian Cross.
The Origin of the Ancient Celtic Cross
For many people, the Celtic Cross is a symbol of Christianity, but its origins actually date back to pagan times. It is thought that the shape of the cross may have been inspired by ancient stone circles, which celebrated the sun.
For Christians in Ireland, the cross has become synonymous with Christian faith. The traditional Celtic Cross dates back to the 4th century AD. Legend has it that St Patrick first combined the image of the cross with the Pagan Sun when he first introduced Christianity to the Pagan Celts. Placing the cross on top of the circle represents Christ’s supremacy, and this symbol has been worshiped for hundreds of years.
In the mid-19th century, in Ireland, a Celtic revival led to a rebirth of the ringed cross, which is an emblem of Celtic identity. The symbol of the cross can be seen in the Book of Kells, a Celtic art manuscript, which was influential in the Celtic Revival.
Nowadays, the Celtic Cross symbol is a very popular design in celtic jewelry, serving as a heartfelt reminder of one’s faith and roots.
The Celtic Cross is not only a religious emblem, but also a symbol that embodies the spiritual power and artistry of traditional Celtic designs. It is a celebration of Celtic identity for those of Irish ancestry, making it an ideal gift for those that cherish their Celtic heritage.
