Question: One Christian legend says that the first Celtic cross was formed by St Patrick while bringing Christianity to the Druids. The Druids used to worship a large circular stone. On seeing the significance of this stone, St Patrick, drew a large cross through the middle of it in order to bless it. From this act, the two cultures created the Celtic cross. The cross represents Christianity and the circle is the Celtic representation of eternity, no beginning and no end. Can you find and discuss another example that demonstrates the merger of two separate symbols and formation of a new symbol and meaning?
