I’m planning on buying a Cross pedant for my fiance this Christmas. He is of Irish/Scottish descent and proudly wears a Celtic Cross tattoo. He has never owned a Cross pedant. I think if I bought him a Celtic Cross, he’d be happier than with a simple Cross or a Crucifix. However, I’ve heard and read mixed opinions as to the Catholic meaning of the Celtic Cross. I really mean to buy him a symbol of our faith, rather than heritage.

Any advice on this dilemma will be appreciated. Thanks.
 
it is a symbol of early Christians in this influential part of the early Christian world, why would you have any doubts about its suitability as a gift for a Christian?
