Celtic Trinity Knot Jewelry and Pendants

Celtic Trinity Knot Pendants

Celtic jewelry comes from the ever popular celtic knot interwoven lines design that is over 1000 years old. The ancient Celts didn't have a written language so we cannot know the exact meaning of the interwoven knot designs.

Many anthropologists and archelogists have agreed that the same celtic knot design has multiple meanings depending on the time period. This means that one design in 1200 might have meant something entirely different in 1375.

There are some celtic designs that are substanially different and have had the same meaning for 100's of years due to their uniqueness. One of them is the Triquettra or Triskelle knot.

What we call the "Trinity Knot" was originally called the Triquettra or Triskelle knot.

The Celtic Triquettra design was a popular design during in its time period. After being introduced to Christianity the Triquettra became associated with the Holy Trinity and became a religious symbol used in many Christian Churches today. It is now mostly referred to as the Trinity Knot. The knot varies a little but each design has three points to it. Each point representing a memner of the Holy Trinity or Godhead.

Because of the phrase "Holy Trinity" the Trinity Knot caught on several hundred years ago. Now days many Churches are named after it.

The Trinity knot has as much or more Christian symbolism to it as it has Celtic pagan symbolism due to its wide religious Christian use.
