Meaning Behind Popular Irish Celtic Symbols
The Trinity Knot (Triquetra)
The Trinity Knot, or Triquetra, is one of the most recognisable Celtic symbols. It consists of three interlocking loops with no beginning or end, symbolising eternity and the interconnectedness of life. Historically, it has been associated with various trinities, such as land, sea, and sky, or the Christian Holy Trinity. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

The Claddagh
The Claddagh symbol features two hands holding a heart topped with a crown. Originating from the Irish fishing village of Claddagh, it represents love (heart), friendship (hands), and loyalty (crown). Traditionally, Claddagh rings are used as tokens of affection and are often worn to signify relationship status. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}

The Celtic Cross combines a traditional cross with a circle encircling the intersection. Its origins are debated, but it is widely recognised as a symbol of faith and culture in Ireland. The circle is thought to represent eternity or the sun, while the cross signifies faith. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

The Tree of Life (Crann Bethadh)
