Legend of the Celtic Cross
The origins of the Celtic cross are said to reach back to pagan times before the arrival of Christianity to Ireland. As a symbol of Christianity, the Celtic cross first appeared in the 8th Century and was reputedly introduced to Ireland and Britain by early Christian missionaries. A simplified narrative is that Saint Patrick introduced the Celtic Cross to Ireland.
Some historians suggest that the basic shape of these crosses may have mirrored trees, which Celts revered. Christian missionaries arriving in Ireland in the 5th century would have been keen not to upset the early pagan Celts. By merging the Christian imagery of the cross and halo with important Celtic imagery of trees and the sun, this new religion would have been more 'familiar' and more acceptable presumably making for easier converts!
Meaning behind the symbols
The four arms of the cross have a different meaning in different cultures. The meanings of the cross include the four elements (Earth, air, water, and fire), the four directions (north, south, east, and west) and the four parts of man (body, soul, mind, and heart).
The ring/circle was for the moon while the cross inside the circle represented the sun.
