The Celtic Cross
Stories vary on the ancient cross. Many predate Christianity, yet in Irish legend, St. Patrick is credited with introducing the first Celtic cross. The Celts told him of the sacred stone they worshipped representing the moon goddess. St. Patrick made the mark of Latin cross through the circle and blessed the stone, creating the first Celtic Cross
Others believe that it was also known as the Sun Cross or Sun Wheel and was a symbol of Odin, the Norse god. Modern interpretations view the circular portion as a symbol of eternal life, with the number 4 – the arms of the cross represent north-south-east-west, or fire-earth-air-water, or mind-body-soul-heart.
