The Cross of Power
Pendant
The Celtic
Cross we recognize
today evolved from the Chi-Rho
that consists of the two Greek
letters X (chi) and P (rho), which
was enclosed within a circle,
and the ancient Celtic divine
sun wheel. The wheel symbolizes
God, the motionless mover. The
center has no dimensions and
cannot turn, yet all moves
around it. The round symbolizes
female energy and the cross
symbolizes male energy, the
seasons and the four directions
of movement. Superimposed
they express harmony and
balance.
