Celtic Cross

Another image of the old graveyard on the grounds of the Saint Canice Cathedral in Kilkenny Ireland.

 

The Celtic cross is a form of Christian cross featuring a nimbus or ring that emerged in Ireland, France and Britain in the Early Middle Ages. A type of ringed cross, it became widespread through its use in the stone high crosses erected across the islands, especially in regions evangelized by Irish missionaries, from the 9th through the 12th centuries.
