The triqueta (latin for three cornered) or trinity knot is a three cornered triangle shaped knot design constructed from one continuous line interweaving around itself.

The triquetra has been found on runestones in Northern Europe and on early Germanic coins and is believed to have been adapted from the ancient the Celtic symbol of the goddess and the Germanic Pagan or Viking Valknut symbol for Odin.

During the 7th century the detailed interlace / knotwork triquetra began to appear in Irish celtic christian illuminated manuscripts and artwork such as the famous Book of Kells and can be similar artwork can be seen on Celtic crosses and slabs from the early Christian period.

In the modern era the triquetra is sometimes used by wiccans and neopagans to symbolise fertility, the triple aspect of the Goddess and as a protective symbol.

To Celtic Christians the trinity knot has been used in Christian tradition as a sign of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit symbolising unity and an eternal spiritual life.

In Ireland the symbol has become popular for weddings and jewellery were the endless intertwining curves represent eternal love.
