SKU: IBC6432522-CST

Celebrate ancient Celtic traditions with these sacred symbols. The Celtic Knot is a design that can be as simple as the 3-pointed Trinity Knot or triquetra - a triangular form made of 3 curved lines that are all interlaced and connected. Celtic knots are also called Endless Knots, Infinity Knot, Lover's Knot, or Eternity Knots. Some can be quite complex and intricate, weaving two or more cords together, each entwined but having no beginning or end. The lines simulate an illusion of depth, where parts of the cord or rope appear to wind behind the solid lines that appear to come forward in front. They symbolize united forces and protection from evil, the Holy Trinity, body, mind, spirit, and also eternal matrimony. The Four-Leaf Clover is a symbol of good luck. Clovers and shamrocks naturally have three leaves. Finding clovers with 4 or more leaves are anomalies, considered lucky due to their rarity. There are many Irish blessings and sayings, and slight variations to the words. May the road rise up to meed you. May the wind be always at your back. May the Sun shine warm upon your face, and rains fall softly on your fields. And until we meet again, may The Lord hold you in the palm of his hand. Some attribute this traditional blessing to Saint Patrick, Ireland's patron saint.
