Description
The ancient Celts believed the rowan tree to be a bearer of good fortune and could be beneficial in driving away witches. A rowan tree, more commonly known as the mountain ash, is often planted near the doorstep of a home.
To this day, many people in Ireland and Scotland will not fell a rowan tree lest it bring them ill fortune.
This cross was designed by Deanne McKeown, stylizing the compound leaf structure of a Scottish rowan.
