Info take from the Luther Seminary web site, here and here:

This cross located in front of Bockman hall was a gift in 1956 from the Young People's Societies of Nordfjord, Norway.

This Celtic cross is a replica of the oldest cross in Norway, dating to around 1000 A.D. When a Viking chose to become Christian, he or she would erect a cross of stone to mark the spot of decision or baptism. After that, they would gather there with other Christians for worship until a church was built. These crosses still stand in Norway.

This cross has Greek letters on the left arm—Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Above, center, are the Greek letters for "Christ, the Light of the World." The symbols on the right stand for a four-word Latin phrase meaning "The Word of God remains forever."
