Symbol of the millenia,
By
This review is from: The Celtic Cross: An Illustrated History and Celebration (Hardcover)
The religion and lore of the Celts had a tremendous impact on the development of Western spiritual thought. Today, Celtic knots, animals, and other figures are experiencing a new popularity. "The Celtic Cross" is a lovely, well researched volume that describes the art carved upon the stone crosses scattered across northern Europe, especially the British Isles. The iconography and other symbolism, the development of the art form, and the spiritual meaning are all discussed in some depth. The photos are terrific, and a list of place to see crosses in situ or in museums is also included, should you wish to see a few in person.

Pagan, not Christian view,
By Hanley (Maryland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Celtic Cross: An Illustrated History and Celebration (Paperback)
I was expecting more on the Christian crosses, as the cover shows. It is all how wonderful the pagans were, mother earth worshipers as you find today. No color photos. Mostly illustrations. Not worth the money.
