PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

This beautiful shamrock cross with its clean sweeping lines and highly polished finish is sure to delight. And the position of a shamrock at its centre has a beautiful resonance with Irish folklore and history. Our patron saint, St Patrick, came to Ireland in the 5th century with the mission of spreading the message of Christianity to the people of Ireland, his first step was to meet with the pagan high kings of Ireland and to convince them to allow him to spread his Christian word. Standing before them he reached down to the grasses at his feet and plucked a shamrock, he used this single shamrock to explain to the high kings how the Holy Father, the Holy Son and The Holy Spirit could all be part of one being. The high kings were amazed and gave St Patrick their permission to go and spread the message of Christianity to the people of Ireland.
