The Celtic Cross is also known as the Irish Cross, or the Cross of Iona. The symbol has pre-Christian origins yet has become an enduring emblem of Celtic christianity.
A popular Irish myth has it that the Celtic cross was introduced to Ireland by Saint Patrick to assist in converting the pagan Irish. Combining the cross with the life-giving properties of the sun convinced pagan followers of the importance of the Christian symbol.
Today Celtic regions of Ireland and Great Britain feature many examples of free-standing upright crosses, or high crosses, some erected as early as the 7th century.
