Now, however, when scholars consider the quality of the carving they believe that the cross was made in the 9th or 10th century.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIts intricate interlace patterns are similar to the decoration found in the pages of a late 10th century psalter which came from Ireland. The figure on the shaft of the west face is said to represent the Crucifixion: by others to represent Christ in glory with his arms raised in blessing. In the early Church the cross was a sign of victory over sin and death so, following the ideas of still another scholar, maybe we should say it represents both! Below the figure of Christ there are three figures of ecclesiastics and at present it is not clear who they may be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ciframe title=\"Sterling Silver Cross Of St. Patrick Carndonagh\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/cHDMi0wPDQ4\" height=\"685\" width=\"385\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe height=\"350\" width=\"425\" src=\"https:\/\/maps.google.com\/maps?f=q\u0026amp;source=s_q\u0026amp;hl=en\u0026amp;geocode=\u0026amp;q=Carndonagh,+Donegal,+Ireland\u0026amp;aq=0\u0026amp;oq=carndonagh+don\u0026amp;sll=54.620307,-6.510429\u0026amp;sspn=0.003348,0.010568\u0026amp;t=h\u0026amp;ie=UTF8\u0026amp;hq=\u0026amp;hnear=Carndonagh,+County+Donegal,+Ireland\u0026amp;z=14\u0026amp;iwloc=A\u0026amp;output=embed\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Fado Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"18 inch","offer_id":67808194658394,"sku":"cuy1792651215699","price":120.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20 inch","offer_id":67808194691162,"sku":"koq1792651215700","price":136.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22 inch","offer_id":67808194723930,"sku":"nvm1792651215701","price":125.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"24 inch","offer_id":67808194756698,"sku":"vrq1792651215702","price":149.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0738\/0225\/2378\/files\/historic-st-patrick-high-cross---recreation-collection_1.jpg?v=1792651221","url":"https:\/\/softdrapefit.shop\/products\/historic-st-patrick-high-cross-recreation-collection","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
