Maughold Cross
Isle of Man
Nearly 200 carved crosses have survived on the Isle of Man dating from the
Celtic early Christian period in the 7th century and through the period of the
Viking settlement up to the early 11th century. The interlinked ring design
forming the shafts of Scandinavian (Viking) influence. The wheel cross at the
top of the cross was originally a symbol of Christ derived from chi-rho monogram
although it is likely that the outer circle came to symbolize heaven (in
conforming with ancient symbolism). Christ in the center of heaven represented
by the inner circle.
