That’s the main thing, far more than the nature of his celebrations.“Of course Leigh wants to silence his critics.

The History, Meaning and Symbolism of the Irish Celtic Cross ...The Celtic Cross often referred to as the Irish High Cross is a renowned symbol of Celtic culture worldwide.What is a Celtic Cross?The Celtic cross is one of the most revered symbols of Ireland and of Irish culture.

The Celtic Cross is basically a Latin cross with a circle of light, or a halo intersecting it.

This cross also known as the Irish cross or the cross of Iona is a famous Christian symbol that has its roots in paganism.

The pagan Celts were said to worship the sun.

Saint Patrick according to legend combined the image of the Christian cross with the circular to represent the sun to associate circle of light with the Christian cross as one in the same.Another less popular story suggests that, by St. Patrick laying the symbol of the cross over the symbol of the sun he was showing them that Christ was a more powerful force then the sun god.

These magnificent large stone crosses were typically erected to memorialize prominent people or places like churches or monasteries.
