THE TRISCELE is a sun symbol. The number three was sacred to the Celtic religion as well as its compound number, nine. The symbolism of these spirals is that of the “motionless mover”, the Most High God in the centre around which all things revolve. The triscele is also thought to represent the three realms of Celtic lore – the past, the present and the future. It is commonly found in late Celtic art (especially in Ireland and Scotland) and has survived well into the Christian period because it could also be considered to represent the Holy Trinity.
