This Celtic Cross is manufactured in Dublin by Solvar. The Cross is a powerful symbol of faith, and this delicate oxidised Trinity pendant is engraved with iconic Celtic knot-work to represent eternal life and endless love. This trinity pendant has been created in sterling silver, and Irish hallmarked in Dublin Castle.
Throughout Ireland and Scotland, the Celts crafted these magnificent symbols in stone. Celtic Crosses predate Christianity and were first used by pagans to worship the sun. In pagan times the circle of the Celtic Cross represented the Sun, being the center of their lives. It was not until the 4th Century AD when it was introduced by the first Christian Roman Emperor Constantine, that the Celtic Cross was used to represent Christians victory. During the great conversion of many pagans to Christianity, Christian philosophers adapted the Celtic Cross, and taught the meaning of the circle to represent Christ, the center of Christianity.
This cross arrives to you boxed on an 20" stainless curb chain. This piece is approximately .83" wide and 1.22" tall.
