The Celtic Cross. Treasured spiritual gifts and Christian crosses from long ago. Old manuscripts such as those of Kells, Durrow, and Lindisfarne reveal the designs of artwork that was used by the Celts. The Celts express their artistic genius in such art and crafts as metalwork, sculpture, and ceramics. The Celts began crossing the English Channel about 500 B.C. and were the first invaders of England. Their art was copies by later invaders including the Romans, Saxons, and Vikings, and is still an important art source that is popular today. The Celtic cross symbolizes the four roads. The cross in the wheel has been used as a symbol for the sun, and Christ's rule over all things - height, length, breadth, and depth. The cross is best known as the supreme symbol of the Christian faith. There are many fine examples of stone crosses and engraved slabs. These can be seen in many graveyards in the United Kingdom.
