Celtic Cross

110CC The Celtic Cross, or wheeled cross, is derived from the ancient Chi-Ro monogram, which is the name of Christ in the Greek alphabet. It was used to represent the nimbus or halo behind the heads of Christ and the saints. To the Celts it closely resembled ancient solar symbols. The basic symbolism is of the world-axis, or the link between Heaven and Earth. The edges are decorated by Celtic key patterning.
