Irish crosses have been a faithfully kept tradition of Ireland since as early as the fifth century. Their design is attributed to Saint Patrick, who one day drew a circle around a standard Latin cross. This simple addition to the cross attracted the attention of the Irish pagans, who frequently used the same combination of a circle and cross to represent the sun. A legend also explains that an open circle was used by the pagans to signify the moon goddess. By positioning the circle behind the cross, Patrick illustrated Christs triumph over all false deities.
