A look back: The history of the Celtic High Cross
The Celtic High Cross, also known as the Cross with the Ring, has its roots deep in the early history of the British Isles and Ireland. Originally carved in stone, these crosses were erected between the 9th and 12th centuries as significant religious symbols and often as monuments to specific people or events.
The connection of the cross with the circle or ring has various interpretations. Some believe the circle represents eternal life, while others believe it symbolizes the sun or moon, which may be due to the symbol's pagan roots. However, with the Christianization of Ireland, the High Cross quickly became an unmistakable symbol of the Christian faith, with the ring possibly symbolizing the unity of the Holy Trinity.
Endless Knot: An Intertwined Path Through Time and Space
A striking feature of our Celtic high cross is the decoration with the Celtic endless knot. These intricate, never-ending patterns are emblematic of Celtic art. They symbolize infinity, eternity and the intertwined path of life, death and rebirth. The knots remind us that everything in life is connected, and they are often found in Celtic rituals and ceremonies.
