It entirely depends on the context, it has been used in context of pagan groups and Christianity. Some pagan contexts can be Virgin, Mother, and Crone. Or Life, Death and Rebirth. For Christianity it represents the trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Where do the nails go on the paschal candle?

One goes in the center of the cross and the other four go at the four ends of the cross. There's usually a "clue" in the design of the cross. For example, our candle this year has a Celtic Cross, so there's a circle in the middle and a nail goes in the center of that cirle. There are also half-cirlces on the ends to guide us as to where the nails should go.


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

What does the circle in the middle of the Celtic cross represent?

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.
