Celtic Crosses

Celtic Crosses

Sterling silver Celtic crosses are Christian crosses that come with Celtic symbols which add more symbolism to the already very symbolic Christian cross. Let us example a few Celtic crosses and see what the Celtic and Irish symbols add to the cross necklace.


This Celtic cross necklace has the standard Celtic circle the surrounds the intersection of the two lines that make up the traditional cross. The Celtic circle represents eternity which is a nice reminder of the eternal significance of the cross necklace.

Celtic cross necklaces like this just by having the Celtic circle make the christian cross more symbolic. Look at the end caps of the cross. At the end of every line is a trinity knot. The trinity knot is a three corner Celtic knot. Each of the three corners represents the Holy Trinity.


Celtic cross necklaces have many other symbols. Look at this next Celtic cross necklace:


This Celtic knot necklace is very similar to the first Celtic cross necklace. The difference is the presence of a Irish clover. Each of the three leafs are used to represent the Holy Trinity. As legend goes, St. Patrick used the three leaf clover to teach the Trinity.

These are just two Celtic cross necklaces. To see countless more click on Celtic cross necklaces.
