Symbolism




The Triquetra is a three-part interlocking fish symbol that symbolizes the Christian trinity. The word trinity comes from the Latin word "trintas" meaning "three are one." This is reference to the Christian belief that God is one Being made up of three distinct Persons; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The use of fish as symbols is also reference to the popular bible passage in which Jesus performs the miracle of feeding hundreds with just a few loaves of bread and fish. The fish has become a popular religious symbol, representing giving and generosity. The fish symbol would be easily recognizable to a practicing Christian and effective in its meaning and message.
