Vintage bronze celtic cross

Celtic cross in solid bronze. For Christians, the Celtic or nimbed cross is a cross in which a ring is inscribed, symbolizing the Holy Host. It is characteristic of Celtic Christianity. Others believe that this symbol has much more ancient origins, since the first Celtic cross found dates back to 10,000 BC. For the Celts, the cross represented several things: the four cardinal points: north, south, east and west. The four gods: those who lived in each of these directions. The four seasons of the year: since the Celts were closely linked to nature. The crossroads of two paths: that of the living and that of the dead. It is also believed to symbolize the four elements (earth, air, water and fire), which were united by the center of the Celtic cross. A mystery worth its weight in bronze. Reference : 291182
