Cross Necklaces For Men: Symbolism Of Crosses

STERLING SILVER CROSS NECKLACES FOR MEN - CELTIC CROSS SYMBOLISM

Celtic Cross History:The Celts were originally pagans. When they were converted to Christianity they were required to give up there symbolisms and adopt Christian symbols, particularly the Christian cross. They were reluctant to give up their signs and symbols. As a compromise they created the Christian Cross with Celtic symbols on them. The Celtic Cross is also know as the Irish High Cross. It has been adopted widely in Christianity and is now just as popular as any other style of Christian Cross.

These two Mens Celtic Cross Necklaces represent some good Celtic symbolim for a great example.

 

This Mens Celtic Cross Necklace features traditional Celtic knot work and also has Celtic Trinity knots. One Trinity knot on each line of the cross.

 A Celtic Trinity knot has three points to the knot. Each point represents one of the Holy Trinity or Godhead. The use of trinity knots adds added symbolism to an already symbolic Cross pendant.

These Celtic cross necklaces for men are really unisex or gender neautral but are called mens cross necklaces becasue the pendants are quite large.

This is the same Celtic cross pendant as above with one difference the addition of the irish clover. Legand has it that St. Patrick used the three petal clover to teach the Godhead. These Celtic cross necklaces are used the world over for Christian Jewelry.
