Knot Brigit (Triquetra)

Triquetra has been found on runestones in Northern Europe and on early Germanic coins. It probably had a pagan religious meaning and was similar to Valknut, a symbol associated with Odin. Often used in medieval Celtic art. This symbol has been used many times in manuscripts, mainly as a placeholder or decoration for much more complex compositions.

In the Christian religion, he is represented as a symbol of the Holy Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).
