I wanted to build a stained glass Celtic Cross for years and never was able to find a good pattern. Finally, after hours of internet research, I evolved the above design and built 2 different Celtic crosses in 2003. The other cross, Corinne and Kyle's Cross, is pictured below right.

"In Ireland, it is a popular legend that the Celtic Catholic cross was introduced into Ireland by Saint Patrick or possibly Saint Declan during the time he was converting the pagan Irish, though no examples survive from this early period. It has often been claimed that Patrick combined the symbol of Christianity with the sun cross, to give pagan followers an idea of the importance of the cross by linking it with the idea of the life giving properties of the sun. However this theory is now thought unlikely by most art historians, who think an origination from crosses carrying a victor's wreath around their intersection is more likely. Such a cross is found on the reverse of the Liudhard medalet from Canterbury in England in the 590's" (from Wikipedia)

Existing examples of Celtic crosses date back to at least the 7th century.

Celtic Cross is currently on display in the window of "In the Company of Angels" a unique Christian gift shop in Fairhope, Alabama. They build beautiful angels and Nativity scenes from the scrap stained glass I give them.
Angels from recycled glass!

UPDATE AGAIN:
Greg contacted me from Louisiana back in 2012 because he had been searching for a Celtic Cross pattern for his FIRST stained glass project.

With a little encouragement from me, Greg built the Celtic Cross pictured on the right as a surprise present for his wife. Greg sent photos of his first project .... and his story is so exceptional I created a web page to tell Greg's story. Please click on his window to see photos and read about his adventure!
Phil contacted me early in 2018 also looking for a pattern for a Celtic Cross. Phil lives in Georgetown, Texas and is already an accomplished stained glass artist. He wanted to build this cross as a surprise birthday present for a sister in law in Wyoming.

Phil's Celtic Cross measures 19" x 27", was completed in May of 2018, and has safely made its journey from Texas to it's new home in Rawlins, Wyoming.
