All is divinized in Christ
The most typical Celtic cross consists of two symbols... The first is the symbol of Christ, which is represented by the cross form. The second is the symbol of the cosmos, represented by the circle that overlays the cross. Both symbols are centered on the intersection of the vertical and horizontal bars of the cross.
The Celtic cross - along with much Celtic art - speaks of Christ and the cosmos emerging from the same point. The implications of this are profoundly sacramental. It means that the deeper we move into the mystery of Christ, the closer we come to the true heart of all life.
The sacred is in the very source code of all things.
In Christ, all is divinized.
Grace and Godspeed,

I've often wondered about the circle - I had no idea what it meant except ornamentation. Thanks for clarifying this.
