Celtic Cross and Jewelry	Crystal	Friday, January 17, 2014
Question: Dear Brother, I was reading that the Celtic Cross is considered to be pagan due to its history. I realize that the cross, is of Irish culture and I have a glass plaque with a Celtic Cross on it in my home with the Irish prayer "May the road rise up to meet you" as I am multi-ethnic but of Irish decent. I don't know if this is true, as I want to purchase some jewelry that are designed with Celtic knots; but I'm unsure now if it would be wise to do. If you know anything about this and could give me some insight, I would really appreciate. Thank you, God Bless, Crystal

Question:

Dear Brother,

I was reading that the Celtic Cross is considered to be pagan due to its history.

I realize that the cross, is of Irish culture and I have a glass plaque with a Celtic Cross on it in my home with the Irish prayer "May the road rise up to meet you" as I am multi-ethnic but of Irish decent.

I don't know if this is true, as I want to purchase some jewelry that are designed with Celtic knots; but I'm unsure now if it would be wise to do.

If you know anything about this and could give me some insight, I would really appreciate.

Thank you,
God Bless,
Crystal
