Braddan Kirk Cross
Maughold, Isle of Man
On this cross, the Scandinavian chain-link shaft design changes into tree-like
branches at the point it enters the wheel, a reminder of link between the stone
monument and the tree of life. The oldest symbol of the world-axis (pole or link
between heaven and earth) is the sacred tree, best known as the Tree of Life.
Pillar stones began to replace sacred trees when nomadic peoples settled and
cleared the land for agriculture. When the British Isles became Christian, these
pillars were replaced with carved stone crosses.
