The Trinity knot is the most well know Celtic knot. In the Christian faith, the three points of the Trinity knot represent the Father, Son & Holy Spirit.
However, the Trinity Knot meant many things to the Celts. This included the mind, body, spirit; earth, sea and sky and beginning, middle and end – continuity.
So the name ‘shamrock’ comes from the Irish name “seamrog”, meaning little clover. The shamrock plant is recognised the world over as the badge of Ireland. It has been a symbol of Ireland since the 18th century.
The shamrock’s most direct link to the Irish people comes in the form of the legend of Saint Patrick bringing Christianity to Ireland. So according to legend, Saint Patrick explained the Christian Holy Trinity to the people of Ireland using the three leaves of the shamrock as a metaphor.
Every year on St Patrick’s Day the Shamrock is worn across the world as a mark of Irish heritage.
