Where Heaven Touches Earth
This extraordinary Celtic cross stands as a testament to both Catholic faith and heritage.
Layers of Sacred Meaning
The Celtic Cross Form: Combining the Christian cross with the ancient sun wheel, symbolizing Christ as the light of the world
Trinity Knots: Each interwoven pattern has no beginning or end, representing the eternal nature of God—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in perfect unity
The Central Medallion: A complex Trinity knot at the heart, reminding us that the Trinity is central to our faith
The Circle: Symbolizing God's infinite love and the eternal life promised through the cross
Exceptional Craftsmanship in Three Mediums
The Dark Frame: Deep-stained hardwood provides dramatic contrast, its rich ebony tones evoking the darkness of Calvary from which our salvation emerged.
Natural Wood Knotwork: Precision-carved Celtic patterns in light hardwood showcase the intricate beauty of traditional Irish Christian art. Each knot is perfectly formed, with no breaks in the eternal weave.
Emerald Epoxy Channels: The brilliant green epoxy rivers that flow through this cross evoke:
The verdant hills of Ireland, land of saints and scholars
The living faith that flows through generations
The emerald seas that carried missionaries from Ireland to the world
A Meditation in Wood
The contrast between the three elements creates a visual journey—from the dark wood of earthly struggles, through the illuminated paths of grace (the green epoxy), to the light wood representing heaven's glory. It's theology made tangible.
Heritage Meets Innovation
While the Celtic knots honor 1,500 years of Irish Christian tradition, the epoxy technique brings contemporary artistry to this ancient form.
