However, the cross has pre-Christian origins and is associated with Celtic Christianity. The Celtic Cross is traditionally a Christian Latin cross with a circle around the centre arms. The circle and cross combination symbolises the harmony and stability of powerful divine energies of a solar life source. The circular shape was an important pagan symbol. By incorporating this pagan circle on the cross helped to convert pagans to Christianity. Indeed some believe the idea of this Celtic symbol was first conceived by St. Patrick in an effort to convert the Druids. Celtic Crosses are found throughout Ireland. They are also known as the High Cross, the Irish Cross and the Cross of Iona.
