A Celtic cross is a symbol that combines the cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It is the characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity, though the symbol has older, pre-Christian origins. Such crosses formed a major part of Celtic Art. This design is also referred to as the Irish Cross, or as the Cross of Iona. The exact history of this symbol is slightly ambiguous, and you may get a different answer from everyone that you might ask, but I like the theory that the inner circle is said to represent eternity, and the endlessness of God's own love. Besides the inner circle, the element that distinguishes the Celtic cross from other crosses is the intricate knot work that can be found carved into the stone. One of the most common knots you'll see is the Trinity knot. Other than actually going to an ancient church in Ireland, a great way to see the beauty of these crosses is in ornamental replicas and also Celtic jewelry: http://www.irishcelticjewels.com/crosses.htm

On the off-chance that this question might be * Why did the ancient Irish build High Crosses I'll answer The ancient Irish were a largely illiterate people with a strange alphabet called Ogham which was mainly sued to inscribe brief "messages" on stone. The Church used the High Cross as a teaching aid. The designs depicted on the body of the cross were usually scenes from the Gospels, although there were some Old Testament events recorded also. The crosses would have been used for religious instruction. Stone was plentiful and the craftsmen skilled. Some of the crosses held great detail and stood for many years, totally exposed to the elements.
