Wikipedia
Celtic cross (, , , , , ) is a symbol that combines a cross with a ring surrounding the intersection; the cross' stem being longer than the other three's intersection. It belongs to a wider group of crosses with a nimbus. The Celtic Christians combined the usual four members of the Christian cross with the nimbus to create high crosses – a free-standing cross made of stone which was often richly decorated. The Celtic Revival shape, usually decorated with interlace and other motifs from Insular art, became popular for funerary monuments and other uses, and has remained so, spreading well beyond Ireland.
Celtic Cross was a musical collaboration of Simon Posford ( Hallucinogen, Shpongle), Martin Glover (bassist from Killing Joke) and Saul Davies ( violinist from James). The style of music could be described as psychedelic rock, ambient and dub music with ethnic influences. The cover of the Hicksville album was designed by Mark Neal, the same artist who worked on Posford's Twisted and The Lone Deranger, as well as the Shpongle albums.
