Irish Crosses

Irish Crosses

Irish crosses are the same as traditional crosses as far as Christians go. The only difference between and Irish cross and a Christian cross is the presence of Irish and Celtic symbols on the cross. Irish crosses are typically more symbol of Christianity that the everyday cross.

We'll bring up a few of the Irish crosses and look at what the additional symbols mean.

Let's start with this Irish Cross:

This sterling silver Irish cross has a ring in the center of the cross representing eternity. The Irish cross end caps have a Trinity knot which is a three-cornered knot. Each corner represents a member of the Holy Trinity. The knots on the circle are symbols for infinity.

This Irish cross is essentially the same as the Irish cross necklace shown above except this one has an Irish three-leaf clover. Each of the leaves of the clover represent a member of the Holy Trinity.

All of these Irish cross necklaces in this blog are made from sterling silver. Solid sterling silver.

 Sterling silver Irish cross necklaces are also made with Irish Celtic crosses. There are many designs and styles of Irish cross necklaces.

The Irish Celtic cross just above with the Irish Claddagh symbol uses The Irish Claddagh for the Celtic ring but the Claddagh adds more. The hands represent friendship. One had is you and the other hand is the Lord. Heart means love, you love for the Lord or His love for you. the crown is loyalty. His loyalty to you and your loyalty to him. This Irish Celtic cross is one of the more symbolic of all crosses of any type.
