A Celtic cross is a symbol that combines the cross with a ring surrounding the intersection. It is the characteristic symbol of Celtic Christianity, though the symbol has older, pre-Christian origins. Such crosses formed a major part of Celtic Art. This design is also referred to as the Irish Cross, or as the Cross of Iona. The exact history of this symbol is slightly ambiguous, and you may get a different answer from everyone that you might ask, but I like the theory that the inner circle is said to represent eternity, and the endlessness of God's own love.
Besides the inner circle, the element that distinguishes the Celtic cross from other crosses is the intricate knot work that can be found carved into the stone. One of the most common knots you'll see is the Trinity knot.
Other than actually going to an ancient church in Ireland, a great way to see the beauty of these crosses is in ornamental replicas and also Celtic jewelry: http://www.irishcelticjewels.com/crosses.htm
The pre-Christian version was a circle with an equal-armed cross internal to the circle, called the "sun cross", representing the sun. When the Celts became Christian, the cross was Christianized. The life-giving sun was compared with Christ.
