Celtic cross in bronze.

Celtic cross in solid bronze. For christians, the celtic cross or shrouded cross is a cross in which is inscribed a ring that symbolizes the holy host. It is characteristic of celtic christianity. Others believe that this symbol has much older origins, since the first celtic cross found dates from 10, 000 bc. For the celts, this cross represents 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. On the other hand, it is believed that it also symbolized 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.
