Readers of all ages will enjoy marking their place with this
cheerful Celtic cross bookmark. The 1" pewter cross is attached to a spring green grosgrain ribbon and is the perfect size for any book, from a child’s Mass book to the family Bible.
The legend of the Celtic Cross dates back to St. Patrick, who preached to the pagans in Ireland. When the saint saw a stone monument to the moon goddess, symbolized by a circle, he drew a cross through it and added his blessing. Ever since then, a cross with an added circle symbolizes the eternal life of Christ, attained through the sacrifice of His death and resurrection. Today wearers of the Celtic cross, whether or not of Irish descent, are reminded of their love and faith in God, and of His love for them.
