“Jesus is the Key”

A wonderful cross with Celtic knots throughout and the symbol in the center tells the story. The center is in the shape of a key hole.

The cross itself is bordered with knotwork that drops down below to make the complex hearts and diamond shaped knots for the lower border. The half circle with the knotwork inside is definitely from the Book of Kells. I loved this-my favorite part!
