A powerful symbol of faith, this Celtic Cross features celtic knotwork throughout against an oxidised background, giving it a more masculine appearance than your typical cross pendant. Made from sterling silver hallmarked at Dublin Castle, this heavy pendant comes on a rugged, oxidised chain, making it the perfect gift for yourself or a loved one.
One legend tells how St Patrick saw a pagan standing stone imprinted with a circle, the symbol of the moon goddess. He is said to have blessed the stone, marking it with a Latin cross. Another tells of St. Patrick combining the circular symbol of the Sun God with the Latin cross to tie the two religions together and ease the transition into Christianity. Whatever the case, it gave us what we know of today as the iconic Celtic Cross.
