The Celtic Cross has been a symbol of Irish culture and faith for over 15000 years. Though the true origin of the Celtic Cross remains unknown, experts have come up with diverse theories about its advent.
According to one legend, Saint Patrick first formed the Celtic Cross. He was a missionary who arrived in Ireland to spread the faith of Christianity among the Druid population.
The Druids used to worship monumental circular stones as a symbol of eternity. According to legends, when St Patrick understood the significance of those stones, he drew a cross on top of the circular stone to bless it. Thus originated the Celtic Cross, a symbol of combining two faiths; the Cross represents Christianity, and the circle represents eternity, having no beginning and no end.
