The type of cross you mentioned is sometimes also called the St. Georges Cross. There are many variations on the theme. The circle in the centre represents infinity. Circles and shapes derived from circles (such as the "fish" symbol": two bisecting circles) are a constant and recurring theme throughout Christianity, as well as many other faiths. They are symbolic of peace and the great cycle of life, death and rebirth. This particular type of cross is widely associated with Roman Catholicism.

How many perpendicular lines does a circle have?
A circles has no perpendicular lines. Perpendicular lines are two straight lines that join forming 90 degree angles. They are found in squares, rectangles, and right-angled triangles. A circle is made by one line that is not straight but is curved. If you drew a circle, rectangle, right-angled triangle, or cross in the circle, then the circle would contain perpendicular lines. But the circle itself would have no perpendicular lines.
Can a line be tangent to one circle and a secant to the other in concentric circles?
Yes, it can as long as it is not the tangent line of the outermost circle. If it is tangent to any of the inner circles it will always cross the outer circles at two points--so it is their secant line--whereas the tangent of the outermost circle is secant to no circle because there are no more circles beyond that last one.

What is a Celtic cross?
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

There are also half-cirlces on the ends to guide us as to where the nails should go.
