Cross of Cashel XP62

Welcome to the Celtic High Cross Collection by Ogham. Each cross is a miniature work of art and is an authentic copy back and front of the east and west side of the original cross.

Each Celtic Cross is handcrafted in our workshop by our master Goldsmiths who have taken great care to reproduce the detail and originality of these ancient monuments.

Each cross is hall marked by the Company of Goldsmiths in Dublin Castle, an independent stage appointed body that authenticates the precious metal content of each piece. Together with the maker's mark this is your guarantee of premium quality.

A little book, included with each cross, will provide you with the background history and folklore associated with each of the Crosses.

This modern Celtic Cross was originally ercted by the citizens of Cashel in 1895 to celebrate the silver Jubilee of Thomas Croke, Archbishop of Cashed and Emly from 1875 to 1902. Croke was also the patron-founded of the Gaelic Athletic Association (GAA), the governing body of Ireland's national sports Gaelic football and hurling.
The Cross of Cashel is a celebratory cross. The front face has three panels, the bottom one mentions Cormac of Cashel, the one aboce 'St Allbe at Emly' and the top panel features Celtic style designs with the robed figure of the crucified Christ above. The reverse of the Cross has Celtic designs with interlace, spirals and zoomorphic patterns in the Celtic art tradition.

This attractive cross embodies the inspiration and spirit of the Great High Crosses of Ireland, carved and erected in the ninth and tenth centuries to celebrate learning and piety, great events and great men of their time.
