The Celtic cross evolved in the British Isles, its earliest forms dating from the seventh to ninth centuries. There are varying traditions regarding the origin of the circle. One tradition includes the story of how St. Patrick, "the Enlightener of Ireland", took a standing stone etched with a circle that symbolized the Druid moon goddess, and marked a Latin cross over the circle, thus incorporating a pagan symbol into a new Christian cross for the converted Druids.
