This sterling silver ShanOre Celtic Cross is truly a unique symbol of faith and your appreciation of the Irish culture. Made in Ireland, this petite yet heavy duty cross features an extra thick pendant, adorned with twisting Celtic Knots on the cross and a celtic rope design on the halo, set against an oxidised background. Finished with a filigreed bail decorated with Celtic Knots, this is truly the perfect cross for anyone who likes their jewelry a bit more rugged.
Stories of the Celtic Cross stretch far back through Ireland's long history. Though believed to be far older, the crosses are traditionally associated with St. Patrick. It's said Ireland's patron Saint once came across a pagan standing stone imprinted with a circle, the symbol of the Moon Goddess, which he proceeded to bless and mark with the Latin cross. Another tells of how he combined the Pagan symbol of the Sun with the Latin Cross to tie the two religions together, helping to ease the transition into Christianity. Whatever the truth, these famous crosses are still seen dotting the landscapes of the Celtic Nations to this day and are iconic symbols of Ireland.
