The Isle of Man is full of carved stone crosses — really old ones, over a thousand years old. You can see them in churchyards and in the Manx Museum.

What makes them special is that they mix things up. Some have Celtic patterns — beautiful knots and spirals that go round and round and never end. Some have Norse pictures — Vikings, gods, dragons, and writing in runes. And some have both on the same stone. The people who carved them didn’t think they had to choose.

The most famous one is Thorwald’s Cross at Kirk Andreas. One side shows Odin being eaten by a giant wolf. The other side shows Christ standing on a serpent. Two completely different stories. Same piece of rock.

Your job: design your own cross that mixes things together. Use at least two different styles. Draw it, paint it, press it into clay, or build it from card.
