Under the influence of missionaries probably Coptic (Christian descendants of the ancient Egyptians), spread Christianity among the Celts in Ireland, led by the Druids. This had been a deity with three faces, with various images and photographs. This was the idea of the Christian trinity also called echo, as it was preached by the missionaries. Through the years converted the Druids themselves or at least offered little or no resistance. The Cross was already known to them as a sign of the earth in NS and EW. As they worshiped the Sun in their system as a source of light and heat, with its influence on the different times of the year, did the isosceles cross with a circle centered therein. The converted Celts used this symbol because Cross and Light directly related to the Christ. You can also circle and cross symbol as heaven and earth. The bottom bar was later extended so that the cross was placed high . The four recesses or openings within the circle are in the course of time result. Often one sees the cross in block form with blocks of biblical scenes or braid decorations. They call it cross with equal bars the Druid Cross and the other Celtic Christian Cross. The Chr. Celts have never a suffering Christ on their crosses shown. The image of the crucified Jesus is both the Eastern Orthodox and Western Catholic church until much later in time.
