Sterling Silver Celtic Cross and Irish High Cross Necklace
Why Are
Celtic Cross Necklaces
So Popular?
The popularity of the Celtic cross necklace has a lot to do with its added symbolism.
There is trouble understanding the complete Celtic Cross symbolism. There is as much or more folklore than scientific evidence of what Celtic symbols means and that includes the Celtic Cross.
Archaeologists have studied for over a 100 years to understand the meaning of Celtic symbols and Celtic cross symbols.
They have determined that some symbols in one period of time meant one thing and in another period of time meant something altogether different.
Much of the problem understanding Celtic symbols is that the Celts didn't have a written language. Much of what archaeologists know about Celtic symbols is based on enemies of the Celts.
Those who fought against the Celts wrote about their symbols and how they were used or appeared to be used.
But you have to take there descriptions with a grain of salt because of their point of view.
Some say the Celtic Cross is the result of the Celts and their conversion to
Christianity. When the Cross symbol was introduced to them they modified it
over time with elements of Celtic artistry. Others claim the "circle
cross" existed before the influence of Christianity.
The modern versions of the Celtic Cross are used not only by Irish Christians but used internationally as a symbol of Christian faith.
The Circle around the center of the cross has come to represent eternity and Gods endless love which is very appropriate for a Christian cross.
Other symbolism of the Celtic Cross relates to the four lines of the Cross. Each line represents four directions. East is rebirth, youth, Spring, and growth. West is knowledge, experience, Autumn, and guidance. South is vitality, vigor, Summer, and strength. North is wisdom, silence, winter, and death. The circle connects them in the cycle of life.
Perhaps the popularity of Celtic Jewelry and Celtic Cross necklaces is due to the fascination of the various designs and the mysterious symbols that can mean just about anything the mind can conjure up.

Celtic Necklaces and Irish High Cross Necklaces are essentially the same thing. The Blend of the Celtic style crosses with Christian crosses evolved into the Celtic Cross symbol which evolved into the Irish High Cross and now many Christian Church's use these crosses. They are used as fine sterling silver Celtic Cross Necklaces for Men and Women. The two basic differences between traditional crosses and Celtic crosses is the circle at the intersection of the cross and Celtic geometric designs. |
