Irish Celtic Christian Cross Wall Relief

Irish Cross Wall Relief

The Celtic cross is a symbol that combines a ring surrounding the inner cross. It is accepted that the Celtic cross has ancient, pre-Christian origins similar to the so-called “sun cross”. In Ireland, it is a popular myth that the Celtic Christian cross was introduced by Saint Patrick or by Saint Declan during his time converting the pagan Irish. In addition to its more traditional religious symbolism the Isle of Iona in Scotland, popularized use of the Celtic Cross in jewelery. During the 19th century, the local government of Guildford placed a Celtic cross on the top of Hindhead on the site of a gibbet on Gibbet Hill, to dispel the local fear of bad spirits.
