What does the Celtic Cross mean to you?

 

We asked many of you to share with us what the Celtic Cross means to you, for a chance to win this Columba’s Cross Pendant. We received so many heartfelt entries, it was definitely hard to choose a winner, and we thank everyone so much for participating.

 

Winner: Robert Trig Ashby

"This is the center of creation. Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. North, South, East, and West. The eternal binding of the tri-knots moving in a Perpetual circle towards the center of all things and yet...sending us into the vastness of the warm currents of forever. In this way we're bound together. This equal-limbed cross of nature is indeed all of us."

Runners Up:

Tim Forbes: "The Celtic Cross has many meanings. I have one tatooed on my arm (I designed it) that has the "forever knot" inside it. It represents my faith to my clan (family), my land (Scottish by heritage), and my God (Christian by birth and by choice). This particular piece of jewelry is a beauty! The purple stone in the center could represent many things, but I am drawn to the knotwork around it! Each arm of the cross is two triad knots intertwined to become one. Excellent imagery! Each tri-knot representing a Christian (the Trinity in man), entwined with their soul mate...then four pairs come together to form a community. I love the deep symbolism tied up (pardon the pun!) in the simple yet complex beauty of the Scottish Knotwork! This is gorgeous!"

Kristin Deveraux: "Everlasting love... And all the sincere attributes that protect its path! Love, Loyalty, Infinity, Faith."

Diann Dittemore Peterson: "The Celtic Cross reminds me that my ancient ancestors were an extremely advanced people and civilization, developing the most accurate measuring devise to date. Using the Celtic Cross for navigating the greatest oceans to using the miraculous tool to design the Great Pyramids, the moon, sun and stars and everything in between and all around the world. They make me proud to have been born of such magnificence that to me, seems like an incredible feat so very long ago."

Suellen T. Sciarappa Cirelli: "Spirit centered, the Celtic Cross shows the knots of strength that the Irish bring to the 4 corners of the earth through the diaspora, and the strength we draw from the four elements of earth, wind, fire and water. The Irish draw from the wealth of their history, faith and family. The Cross celebrates the Rising--in all its meanings."

Mary Sinclair: "The Celtic cross design reflects the lives, faith and endurance of our Celtic ancestors, and the intertwined lines represent the journey of life, the pilgrimage of faith, and the inter-connectedness of all people, with God and oneness at the center."

The Celtic cross shown is a lovely replica of the traditional Druid/Christian heritage to which I was born… And I would be proud to own and wear it… As well as any of the jewelry here.

That is my daughter’s birthstone, and I so honored to say that me and my kids are 100% Irish and love our heritage and the Celtic cross is a very beautiful and religious symbol of our heritage. Thank you for such a wonderful giveaway.

Celtic cross is a symbol of both ancient celtic design and later Christian meaning and meaning of rich background for me! The cross was used before Christianity reached the Celts but Christianity moved among the Celts they assumed parts of the Celtic culture, The unending designs were thought to mean ust that never ending and universal which is a them of the Catholic Church.
