Triquetrum (lat. triquetrum — "trihedral") is a symbol whose origin and modern use are strikingly different. For example, after the 10th century in Russia, the symbol was used mainly as a specific "Varyaz" ornamental motif. Triquetras have been found on runestones in Northern Europe and on early Germanic coins. They probably had religious significance for the pagans and were similar to Valknut, a symbol associated with Odin. Triquetras were common in insular art, especially blacksmithing and in illuminated manuscripts such as the Book of Kells. Similar symbols also decorated Celtic crosses and slabs of early Christianity. The fact that the triquetra was rarely used alone in medieval Celtic art raised doubts about its use as a symbol of faith. In manuscripts it was usually used as a space filler or as part of a more complex composition, also in nodal ornaments it was integrated with other parts of the pattern. This common knot was used alone for two centuries of Celtic Christianity by pagans and agnostics as a symbol of the trinity. It was used by Christians as a symbol of the Trinity (God the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit), especially after the Celtic revival in the 19th century. When modern designers began to use the triquetra as a full-fledged pattern, it was called the shamrock, which was similar to the symbol of the Trinity of St. Patrick, a similarity with the Christian Ιχθυς was also noted. Triquetras were often used in Christian sculptures, clothing, book ornaments, and stained glass windows. Triquetras appear on the cover of some editions of the New King James Version. The usual form of a triquetra is a circle intersected by three connected loops. The circle interprets the unity of three forces. It is also widely believed that it symbolizes God's love around the Trinity.
