This Heritage Collection High Cross Necklace features a traditional Celtic Cross design, cast in pewter and hanging from an adjustable, full length black cord. Iconic symbols of Ireland, Celtic Crosses are often seen as a blending of Christianity and Irish Paganism, used to ease the transition from the country's ancient Pagan past into the dawning of Christianity. The legend tells of how Saint Patrick, upon discovering a standing stone marked with a Circle for the Celtic Sun God, proceeded to carve the Christian Cross over it, combining the two to show their relation to each other. Still found throughout Ireland and the rest of the Celtic nations, these crosses are seen as testaments to the deep faith and artistry of their creators.
