The Ancient Egyptian Ankh Pendant is the symbol of life.

The ankh is a very very old symbol, the precise meaning of which has been lost in time but dates back to at least the time of the ancient Eyptians where the word meant “to live” or “life”. The Egyptian empire waned and died but the power of the ankh symbol lived on and became absorbed into other imagery including early Christian. The ankh sign is not only a symbol of worldly life, but of life in the netherworld.

The Ancient Knotwork Celtic Cross Pendant which were found a long time ago on ancient stone crosses on the island of Iona in the inner Hebrides.

An Irish legend tells how St. Patrick created the first Celtic cross by drawing a circle over a Latin cross to incorporate a pagan moon goddess symbol.

 For an Irish Catholic, the circle in the Celtic cross may be a symbol of eternity and the endlessness of God’s love.
