Page "Celtic cross" Paragraph 59

Since its revival in the 1850s, the Celtic cross has been used extensively as grave markers.

This was a departure from medieval usage, when the symbol was more typically used for a public monument.

The Celtic cross now appears in jewellery, T-shirts, tattoos, coffee cups and other retail items.

Both the Gaelic Athletic Association and the Northern Ireland national football team have used versions of the Celtic cross in their logos and advertising.
