WHAT IS THE CELTIC CROSS / ST. PATRICK’S CROSS?
The Celtic Cross is one of the most recognized symbols of Irish and Celtic heritage, characterized by a cross with a ring encircling the intersection. Although closely associated with Christianity, the Celtic Cross likely predates the arrival of Christianity in Ireland, with roots in ancient pagan traditions. According to legend, St. Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland, combined the Christian cross with a symbol of the sun or moon, both important to the Celts, to create a powerful emblem of life, eternity, and faith.

While the exact origins of the Celtic Cross remain unclear, it is now deeply connected to both Irish culture and Christian faith. Unlike traditional Christian crosses, the Celtic Cross does not focus heavily on themes of pain and suffering but rather on life, eternity, and heritage. Today, it is a symbol embraced by people of Irish, Scottish, and Welsh descent as a representation of both ethnic identity and religious faith.
