The Celtic cross knot symbol, often used in Celtic pendants and Celtic cross pendants - is usually called the mystic knot, or the endless knot. The more esoteric or spiritual concept of this symbol alludes to beginnings and endings. In looking at these beautiful knots, we cannot see a beginning or an end, and therefore we’re reminded of the timeless nature of our spirit. This interpretation goes back to to our most primal selves when we think about the endless cycles of birth and rebirth in both the physical and ethereal realms. No matter what the history and missing symbolism, Celtic knots are here to stay. These crosses were made in South Africa.
They provide spectacular jewelry, and Celtic pendants. As challenging as they are to sketch – they are equally difficult to manufacture. With modern computer software though, this is a good deal simpler.

It was stated that St. Patrick was told of a great rock that the Druids and their followers worshiped. It was rounded in form.

Churches were built upon ancient sites to try and convert the local people.
