Celtic Cross
When Christianity came to Ireland
in the 5th century many of the Celtic
standing stones and water springs
were replaced by Celtic Crosses and
holy wells or even churches. Much of
the symbolism of the Celts was adapted
into the Christian teachings. The circle
around the cross symbolizes the sun
which was an essential element in the
belief system in pre-Christian Ireland.
