CELTIC CROSS OR HIGH CROSS [AT MAIN ENTRANCE TO ST. PETER'S CHURCH IN PHIBSBOROUGH]-146370

This cross was carved with a skull and cross bones above four symbols of the weakness and guilt of humanity. These from left to right are the cock, reflecting the betrayal of Jesus Christ by St Peter, a pillar symbolising his scourging, a serpent reflecting the fall from grace of the garden of Eden and finally the crown of thorns.

 

The high cross also has a carving of a whip on each corner.
