How Well Do You Know The Celts?
Question 19 out of 29

19. How did the Celtic cross come about, according to legend?
It magically appeared on a page in the Book of Kells while the monk scribe was sleeping. It is a pagan representation of two crossed rowan branches that was later adapted to Christianity. It represents the halo of Christ as he appeared in a vision at Lindisfarne. When St. Patrick was driving the snakes out, one slithered up the cross and froze in a circle around it. St. Patrick placed the cross over the sun, something the pagans were said to have worshipped, to show Christ's supremacy. ▶ Next Question ◀
