Description

The Fisherman's Celtic Cross memorial is located near Fort Taber in New Bedford, MA. It is dedicated to the Irish who came to New Bedford many years ago and worked in the fishing industry. It is also a memorial to the Irish men and women who served proudly and fought in our wars.

As far as the cross itself, one could say, that the symbolism of the Celtic cross (especially the equal-armed cross in which each protrusion is equidistant from the center) is indicative of the human desire to know and experience the unfolding mystery of life. We could say that mystery can unfold in a 4-fold pattern in which the arms of the cross offer four ways to ascension; an invitation to objectively know: self, nature, wisdom, God.

The cross is also a symbol representing the meeting place of the Divine energies. At the center of the cross-section is the energetic touchstone where a concentration of cosmic power resides (symbolically). If each cross arm symbolizes a branch of higher wisdom, and if there is a encircling symbol to represent unification of these four elements, then the center of the cross will be a focal point that is our spiritual destination. Indeed, should we meditate on the Celtic Cross, and laser in on the very center of it, our energies would begin to hone in, and centralize into this exhilarating experience of oneness.

The Celtic cross meaning can also represent navigation. In fact, we can look to the cross as a symbolic compass, guiding us through a spiritual sea. In this analogy the cross can serve as a stable guidepost that always leads us to our "true north."
