Solid Sterling Silver - A highly attractive large Celtic Sterling Silver Cross, with a design based on a traditional stone carved Celtic Cross found in Iona, Scotland.
*****Where this High Cross is found in Scotland
This pendant is a replica of a high cross located the isle of Iona in Scotland (see photo of actual cross in listing). The Isle of Iona founded by St. Columba from Ireland, occupied a key position between Pictland and Northumbria on the one hand and Ireland on the other.
The community of Iona had close links with Ireland in the 8th century.
St. John's Cross, which has the widest span of any early cross in Britain. The actual cross in Scotland is 17 feet tall and is from the 8th century.
The panels of serpent and boss designs and "bird's nest" bosses, and spiral work is very similar to that on the Chi-Rho page in the Book of Kells. St. John Cross represents rebirth in Christ. The "bird's nest" symbolizes birth and the serpents represent rebirth since the snake sheds its old skin.
It will delight lovers of all things Celtic, and the unique history of the Celts and their influence on our lives today. Crafted entirely of 925 sterling silver, it comes with a Sterling Silver chain. It will make an ideal gift, and a lasting memento, for yourself or for someone you love.
