.. from a time that the Pagan-Celtic culture very kindly allowed the first Christians to live amongst them.. why oh why did this change I often ask myself.
(Christians are often not so nice)
I have photographed a lot of these beautiful Celtic crosses, sadly with my analogue Camera.
But I go 2 Glendalough next week and this time I will capture them with my digital camera.
nice pic btw!

I have always loved the design of this cross Jackson. Do you perhaps know what the circle represents?
