Celtic Cross

What is the symbolism of the Celtic Cross? The answer is not as straight foreword as one might hope. The history of this powerful symbol is ambiguous. There are many variations of interpretations and legends about the original meaning that are commonly repeated even today. The Presbyterians and Catholics are often startled to learn that they each consider this symbol their own. In our modern multicultural world, the ringed cross is as much a symbol of ethnic heritage as it is of faith, and it is often used as an emblem of one’s Irish, Scottish or Welsh identity.
