The earliest surviving Celtic Crosses date from the 7th century and the finest examples date from the 9th and 10th Centuries.
St. Patrick used a simple cross that he held in his hand against the background of the sun to symbolise the transition of sun worship to Christianity.
Most of the crosses that we can see stood in Monasteries. This was an era before printing, the crosses were richly carved with Celtic knot work and images from Scripture.
Please note as marble is a natural stone tones and shades will vary.
