#156 ISLAY CROSS

According to Celtic spirituality, God is found in all things, not only in the human heart, but also in all of God’s creations. This is seen very clearly in their visual arts such as the Book of Kells with it entwined animals. For the people of the British Isles with it s hundreds of small islands, the sea and its creatures would be very much a part of their lives. The rays circling the cross head of this cross, looking for spines on a fish’s back, are symbolic of light - God - the creator of all life. The knotwork is unending symbolizing everlasting life.
    As it was,
            As it is,
                   As is shall be Evermore,
                          O Thou Triune Of Grace!
                                With the ebb
                                         With the flow
               Ancient
