The Celtic cross is an ancient symbol that has been used for centuries to represent the bridge between the celestial realm and the earthly plane. The vertical axis of the cross represents the connection to higher energies and planes of existence, while the horizontal axis represents the connection to the earthly plane. The circle around the cross symbolises both the Great Wheel of Life and the solar energy. The Celtic cross is a powerful symbol that can be used to connect with higher forces and promote healing and balance in your life.
Christianity has been practiced in Celtic countries for over 1500 years, and it has had a profound impact on Celtic culture. One way that this is evident is in the design of Celtic crosses. The tall shafts of the cross are reminiscent of the ancient menhirs, which were sacred stones that were used in Celtic religious ceremonies. The menhirs were believed to represent the union between the earth and spirit, and they were seen as a connection between the human world and the divine. In this way, it is not surprising that the Celts adapted their ancient religious beliefs to the new Christian religion. The tall shafts of the Celtic cross represent the union between the earth and spirit, just as the menhirs did. The stones are firmly fixed in the earth, reaching upwards to the heavens. In this way, the Celts were able to hold on to their ancient beliefs even as they embraced Christianity.

When I visited England, from New York. Back in 2010, I purchased one of these from a shop in Glastonbury. It had the turquoise gemstone. However I was unlucky and lost it during a rain storm on April 15th 2018. It had sentimental value from my trip, however the symbolic meaning and absence of made me feel naked. I was happy to be able to find this item still being sold on the website, so I instantly placed a purchase on April 20th. I chose the rainbow moonstone, because of the properties and uses of the gem suiting more of what I need right now. It arrived April 27th which was pretty fast from the UK to US. I am extremely happy with the purchase, and it is more shiny than my original. I will definitely be purchasing from St Justin again in the future. Would actually be cool to purchase this pendant in with all other gemstone variations, when I have the spare funds. I connected with this pendant so much – that I had the design tattooed on my arm a few years back. The artist using the turquoise pendant as the source material during the tattoo process.
