Celtic Cross
A celtic cross is a symbol that combines the cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It is the characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity, though the symbol actually has older pre-Christian pagan origins.
It is also referred to as the Irish Cross or the Cross of Iona
Celtic Culture
Celtic culture, like the spirit of man, has endured the ages, offering us a beauty that is timeless and unique. The designs, patterns and decorations of the Celts, refined and enhanced as they made their way across Europe, are a valuable legacy.
The Celts were renowned for their love of precious metals, using it to create ornate jewelry, religous icons and weapons of war.
