AssetID: 200534981-001 / New Vision Technologies Inc / Celtic cross _x000D_ _x000D_ Celtic cross (Irish : cros Cheilteach , Scottish Gaelic : crois Cheilteach , Manx : crosh Cheltiagh , Welsh : croes Geltaidd , Cornish : crows geltek , Breton : kroaz geltek ) is the common name given to a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It belongs to a kind of crosses with a nimbus . In the Celtic Christian world it was combined with the Christian cross and this design was often used for high crosses – a free-standing cross made of stone and often richly decorated. With the Celtic Revival the shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art , became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond the British Isles. _x000D_ _x000D_ This page is not affiliated with, or endorsed by, anyone associated with the topic.
