Ireland Saint Patrick’s Day Celtic Cross Shamrock Green T-Shirt

The Church has long had these types of Cross…about 1100 years…and comes from an Ireland Saint Patrick’s Day Celtic Cross Shamrock Green T-Shirt time when wooden crosses were held together with the “nimbus” or ring to support the arms. Since Irish and Scottish missionaries were rich in religious zeal but often low in cash, cheap wooden crosses needed to last in a very damp environment and be rugged and sturdy enough to survive the many miles of walking the itinerant monks and priests clocked in, hence the need for a wooden support ring.

If anything it’s a distinctly anti-pagan cross. The Ireland Saint Patrick’s Day Celtic Cross Shamrock Green T-Shirt legend is that St. Patrick created the Celtic cross to convert Irish pagans who worshiped the sun, placing the cross over a circle which represented the sun, thus showing Christ conquering over the false god while still bearing the positive qualities these pagans associated with the sun, and drawing their worship to the true Son. It’s a similar iconographic to Our Lady of Guadeloupe conquering over the symbols of Mexican paganism.

I would be more worried about any college kid seeing it, they think its an Ireland Saint Patrick’s Day Celtic Cross Shamrock Green T-Shirt white power symbol now cause of Stormfront. I had someone call me a nazi cause I have a Celtic cross tattooed on my neck… Oh wait I just saw yours it isn’t one with equal-sized arms… you should be safe. Three minutes of Google tells me the ringed-cross motif comes from Early Medieval Insular art, which comes from stone “High Crosses” of the same area and time, the design of which may ultimately have some pagan influence. So it’s a bit less “pagan” than Christmas trees.
