Before they adopted Christianity, the Celts believed that to obtain complete spiritual fulfillment, they had to experience continuous re-birth. Inspired by this belief their art expression was the designing of infinity knots. Sometimes the knots are symmetrical, sometimes not, but they are always pleasing to the eye.
The Trinity Knot is an ancient Celtic symbol believed to predate the crucifix by hundreds of years. The Trinity Knot takes its shape from three interlocking circles. Before Christianity, it is thought that the concept of three represented the air, water and earth. When Christianity was introduced to Celtic lands the Trinity became the symbol of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit.
Shamrock
The Shamrock is one of the most recognized of Irish symbols! It was believed that St Patrick himself used the humble Shamrock to explain the Holy Trinity to his flock, the three leaves representing the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Honor your Irish heritage with a Shamrock pendant!
