 Every autumn a huge golden cross appears in the forests of County Donegal, Ireland.  3000 Japanese larch trees were planted amongst pine trees in such a way that a cross pattern is created when the larch trees turn yellow. https://image.nostr.build/811f208f281375d78b3acc85a209c36b9c1e815b9a9dbf0dfe820b9878c5c5aa.jpg  
 That's very cool. The mystery of the celtic cross. I wonder if the forester was a pagan or a christian.

 Likely Christian. The Celtic cross has been a sign of Irish Christians for many centuries. 

Most people do not realize that St Patrick of Ireland (4th century) brought Orthodox Christianity to Ireland.

The circle on the Celtic cross symbolizes eternity. 
 Yeah here's some footage of how it went 😄
