Celtic Tattoos And The 8 Most Popular Designs
If you looking for a Celtic tattoo, here is a list of the 8 most popular designs. Choose a Celtic design that you like and the best one that corresponds your style and personality.
-Knots
Is the most common and popular style of a Celtic tattoo and uses entwined patterns to represent the cycle of life and death. The knot works from certain geometric shapes which include triangles and circles and when combined, makes a trinity knot which symbolizes the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
-Cross Design
Are based on the Latin cross with a ring at the convergence of the horizontal and vertical lines. The Celtic cross has a vertical bar which represents the spiritual world, the earth represents the horizontal bar, and the ring stands for God's love of mankind.
-Tree Of Life
Similar to the cross in a sense, the tree of life represents a connection between heaven and earth. The tree roots grasp the earth and the branches reach out to the sky. The trunk serves as the meeting point of these two worlds.
-Hearts
Often called the love knot tattoo, the Celtic heart starts out with a line and represents the unity of souls and turns into a heart-shaped knot.
-Celtic Claddagh
The Claddagh includes a heart wearing a crown and is being held by two hands. The heart represents love, the hands friendship, and the crown represents loyalty.
-Spiral Designs
If you prefer a simple design with a special meaning, you might want to get a Celtic design with spiral patterns. The spirals make up continuous lines into complicated patterns and symbolize the immortality of love.
-Maze Designs
The Maze design represents the joy and challenges of life throughout ones journey. This is also called the key and steps pattern with the open and blocked paths standing for the opportunities and obstacles in a life.
-Celtic Animal Designs
It has always been believed by the Celts that animals play a role in harmony with nature. Here are some examples of these patterns:
Bull=Strength
Butterfly=Transformation/Rebirth
Crow=Death
Dog=Loyalty/Luck
Dragon=Magic and Power
Horse=Beauty, Rejuvenation, and Speed
Lion=Strength and Nobility
Peacock=Purity
Snake=Fertility and Healing

Christ in Celtic Christianity (Paperback) $86.54 Christ in Celtic Christianity gives a new interpretation of the nature of Christianity in Celtic Britain and Ireland from the fifth to the tenth century. The written and visual evidence on which the authors base their argument includes images of Christ created in and for this milieu, taken from manuscripts, metalwork and sculpture and reproduced in this study. The authors challenge the received opinion that Celtic Christians were in unity with Rome in all matters except the method of Easter reckoning and the shape of the clerical tonsure. They find, on the contrary, that the strain of the Pelagian heresy which rooted itself in Britain in the early fifth century influenced the theology and practice of the Celtic monastic Churches on both sides of the Irish Sea for several hundred years, creating a theological spectrum quite distinct from that of continental establishments.
