    • The main site link doesn't seem to work, but here's another article. The symbol is in the WMOF2018 logo itself.

    The event was in Dublin and supposedly this symbol has Celtic roots and was used as a symbol for the Trinity, so that might be their explanation.

    But they just couldn't use Celtic knots, something with some beauty and with more clear Catholic connections. (Think book of Kells.)

    Typical modern-church ugly art.

    • The origin of the symbol goes back to very early times. The earliest examples of the triskelion were found in Malta (4400-3600 BC), on Lycian coins, Mycenaean ships, staters of Pamphylia  which is now southern Anatolia (staters were coins representing authorities in ancient times) and at the megalithic passage tomb in Newgrange, Ireland (which is estimated to be built around 3200 BC).
    But what does it represent? There are a lot of interpretations regarding its uses most of which are related to trinities and triple nature of things.

    At this point, it would be useful to underline the importance of threes and  trinities in Celtic culture. As you will read below, many of the ancient Celtic symbols had some kind of relation to a trinity and/or things of triple nature.
    As for what the triskelion meant for the Celts, firstly it was used to represent triune/triadic/triple deities,in other words, three deities worshipped as one. I
