The circle in the center of the Celtic cross represents the sun, a symbol of life, light, and energy. It is also believed to symbolize eternity and the endless cycle of life, death, and rebirth. In Celtic spirituality, the circle is a sacred symbol representing the interconnectedness of all things and the continuous flow of energy in the universe.

What does a Celtic cross with no circle around it look like?

A Celtic cross without a circle typically consists of a vertical and horizontal beam intersecting at their midpoints, forming a traditional cross shape. The arms of the cross may be embellished with intricate knotwork or other decorative patterns characteristic of Celtic art. Without the surrounding circle, the design emphasizes the cross's structure and the detailing within its arms, creating a strong visual impact. This form retains the spiritual significance of the cross while showcasing the artistry of Celtic craftsmanship.

Where do the nails go on the paschal candle?

One goes in the center of the cross and the other four go at the four ends of the cross. There's usually a "clue" in the design of the cross. For example, our candle this year has a Celtic Cross, so there's a circle in the middle and a nail goes in the center of that cirle. There are also half-cirlces on the ends to guide us as to where the nails should go.


What is a Celtic cross?

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

What does the circle in the middle of the Celtic cross represent?

The type of cross you mentioned is sometimes also called the St. Georges Cross. There are many variations on the theme. The circle in the centre represents infinity. Circles and shapes derived from circles (such as the "fish" symbol": two bisecting circles) are a constant and recurring theme throughout Christianity, as well as many other faiths.
