CELTIC CROSS AND ENDLESS KNOT
The Celtic cross has been around since the era of St Patrick, when he first came to Ireland the Druid faith was the strong hold of Ireland. It is said that St Patrick drew a cross on a symbolic Druid rock in order to tempt them into Christianity. One of the circles included with a Celtic cross symbolizes eternal life and the other represents the sun. The Celtic eternal knot was first documented by monks and descriptions of it were found in the Book of Durrows and the Book of Kells. It was never recorded by the Celts exactly what the meaning of the Celtic eternal knot is however, speculation suggests that it symbolizes eternal love and interconnection with nature. There are designs of the Celtic eternal knot that represent the figures of humans and it has been suggested that this was a way in which two people can show their eternal love for each other.
