The Irish Celtic Cross has been a symbol of faith for centuries in Ireland whether the belief is
pagan, Christian or another religion. However it is most widely known as a powerful symbol of Irish
heritage. Originally crafted in stone Celtic crosses predate Christianity and in pagan times the
circle of the cross represented the sun. It was not until the 4th century AD when it was introduced
by the Roman Emperor Constantine, the Celtic cross was used to represent Christ’s victory. During
the great conversion of many pagans to Christianity, Christian philosophers adapted the Celtic
cross and taught the meaning of the circle to represent Christ, the centre of Christianity. This
Celtic cross is double sided and is 3.2mm thick giving it substantial weight. Available in a choice
of precious metals this is a great choice for a lifetime keepsake.
