The History & Meaning and Symbolism of the Irish Celtic Cross
 |
| The Celtic Cross is known throughout the world as a symbol of Irish Heritage |
The Celtic Cross is known throughout the world as a symbol of Irish Heritage. It is believed to have originated around the 7th century. The Celtic cross has a fascinating and complex story behind it. The true origins of the Celtic cross are unknown, but there is plenty of theories and legends. These ancient communities used Celtic symbols that now have become part of the Irish identity and Irish heritage. The Celtic Cross is a symbol of both culture and faith.
One to popular theory is that the cross was introduced by Saint Patrick when he was converting the pagans in Ireland to Christianity. 'Legend has it that St Patrick saw a pagan standing stone imprinted with a circle, the symbol of the moon goddess. He is said to have blessed the stone, marking it with a Latin cross, thus creating the first Celtic cross'. The circle of the Celtic Cross is a symbol of eternity that emphasizes the endlessness of God’s love as shown through Christ’s sacrifice on the cross.

'An Irish Cross or Celtic Cross has to have four semi-circlescut away at the four points where the horizontal and vertical beams meet.'
It has often been claimed that Patrick combined the symbol of Christianity with the sun cross 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, these two ideas were linked to appeal to pagans. Other interpretations claim that placing the cross on top of the circle represents Christ's supremacy over the pagan sun.
New versions of the high cross were designed for fashionable cemetery monuments in Victorian Dublin in the 1860s. From Dublin, the revival spread to the rest of the country and beyond. Since the Celtic Revival, the ringed cross became an emblem of Celtic identity, in addition to its more traditional religious symbolism.
Modern interest in the symbol increased because of Alexander and Euphemia Ritchie. The two worked on the Isle of Iona in Scotland from 1899 to 1940 and popularised use of the Celtic cross in jewelry. Using the Celtic cross in fashion is still popular today.
