Page 8 > Celtic High Cross
In Celtic regions of Ireland and Great Britain you will find many free-standing upright crosses... or high crosses. There are still free-standing crosses in Cornwall (famously St Piran's cross at Perranporth) and Wales (on the island of Iona and in the Hebrides). You will find many in Ireland, Cumbria (stone crosses) and the Scottish Borders (stone crosses). Some of these however, are of the similar Anglo-Saxon cross making tradition. The most famous standing crosses are the Cross of Kells, (County Meath, Ireland), Ardboe Auld Cross (Ardboe, County Tyrone in Northern Ireland), the crosses at Monasterboice (County Louth, Ireland), and the Cross of the Scriptures (Clonmacnoise, Karl).
Sun Crosses
Even before Christianity there were numerous crosses combined with a circle. Often called "sun cross". These sun crosses can be found in Bronze Age Europe (Nordic Bronze Age, Urnfield culture).
Uses of the Cross
The archaic English word for cross in an instrument of torture. The word for it is rood (literally "pole", cognate with rod). The word cross in English is derived indirectly from Latin crux (via Old Irish and possibly Old Norse, introduced in the 10th century).
