Manx Crucifix Cross, Isle of Man
Item Number: MH180
The Manx Crucifix Cross was found on a small island of the southwest coast of the Isle of Man. It was carved in the late eighth century and shows Christ dressed in an elaborate robe with a roundel of knotwork over his chest, representing the heart as the spiritual center. Early Celtic representations of the crucifixion show Christ triumphant over death. Christ is often clothed with his arms wide open. In showing Christ as triumphant over death, they were showing that mortal humans could also triumph over death by their belief in Jesus Christ.
