History of the Celtic Cross

The Celtic Cross first appeared in Ireland and Britain during the early middle ages, when missionaries were busy planting the roots of Christianity among Celtic populations. The style represents a unity of Christian and Celtic motifs - after all, early missionaries are largely responsible for recording and thus preserving many Celtic customs and artwork. This hybrid art form is known as insular art (from 'insula', the Latin for 'island'). 
The cross typically features a nimbus - a ring around the intersection - which also provides support. Its true origin is unknown, though some historians have suggested it may have originally represented the Roman sun god Invictus.  
The most famous surviving versions of these crosses are found in the monumental stone 'high crosses' erected from the 9th-12th centuries, which also depicted stylized Biblical scenes. Though insular art would later be overtaken by Romanesque art, it earned a comeback with the 'Celtic Revival' of the 19th Century, during a time when Ireland was rediscovering its heritage.

I have purchased a good many double sided crosses from you,,as you know.. both in gold and sterling and they all do not disappoint... I love wearing them and it keeps me connected with my faith and Irish roots.. You have always attempted to advise me on which ones would be the good for my " collection" ...Thank you... I consider them "wearable investments" and hope my Grandchildren will love them as well as myself... Cannot wait to select another ....Quality and helft are what made me choode yours.. So many others I have looked at are single sided and light weight.,, I tend to be hard on jewelry so I need sturdy materials..THank you very much ..DO not change your standards Dara Lehans
