Perpetual Passion St. Patrick's Day

My new design in honor of St. Patrick’s Day

                         

Perpetual Passion

 

The Celtic knot has no beginning and no end, and represents harmony and perpetual transcendent life. The Celtic Love Knot is an emblem of everlasting love. It is believed that couple would exchange these knots like wedding rings.    I have used a different variation of the traditional Celtic love knot which is two hearts intertwined.  I have used a variation which is a combination of the trinity knot and a heart intertwined within it.  I have chosen this on as I love hearts and well it works perfectly in a mandala.  Notice that the last frame of this video is Celtic love knot mandala is action on big round Celtic knot.

 

The shamrock is three leaf clover and a type of trefoil plant.  The shamrock is a symbol in Irish antiquity.  The shamrock can be traced back to the druids and the Celtic Goddess Ana, a.k.a. Anu.  The three leaves signifying her standing as the maiden, mother and crone of Ireland.   It was in the 5th century that the patron Saint Patrick began a mission to Christianize the agnostic Celtic Pagans.  He used the three leaves of the shamrock to illustrate the holy trinity. In the 17th century the shamrock was adorned during the feast of Saint Patrick.  (Please note that this is for informational and entertainment purposes only and is not a representation of my beliefs both spiritual and political)

 

The shamrock became an influential emblem in the 19th century when the Irish Nationalists crusade applied the shamrock and the harp as their insignia.  Victorian England perceived the embellishment of the shamrock as an act of rebellion and would hang those who adorned it and in doing so facilitated the shamrocks path as the unofficial national insignia of Ireland.   The shamrock is actually the flower of Ireland and the harp is the national symbol!
