A Celtic Cross is a cross with a circle through the arms, and these stainless steel earrings are a delightful example of this.

There are a couple of explanations for why there is a circle through the arms:
a) St. Patrick drew a cross on the round stone the pagans were worshiping as representing their God, to show how the Christian God was as important as their God.
b) Stone Celtic Crosses were usually very tall (19’ – 21’ feet) and the arms of the cross probably needed support to hold the weight of the stone.
c) Or if you prefer, a combination of both explanations!
 
Design elements of these earrings are:
  • Stainless Steel
  • Black antiquing
  • Cross is approx. 1/2" long x 1/4" wide

An example of Ogham

Dating to to about 600 AD, we photographed this Ogham stone in Kilmalkedar Church, on the Dingle peninsular, in Co. Kerry. on our last trip to Ireland. The ogham carving reads "ẠṆM MẠỊLE-INBIR/ MACI BROCANN" - "Name of Máel-Inbher son of Broccán"
