The Celtic Cross - An Illustrated History and Celebration
The book traces the rich diversity of the Celtic Cross through its historical background and predecessors, by way of the evolution and development of Celtic Christianity, and through to its influence on the form and pattern of Celtic art. Countless crosses have been destroyed throughout the centuries, first by iconoclasts, and more recently through basic neglect, but fortunately many have survived.
