Celtic Triskele Nollaig/Christmas Decoration (Small)

All my design and pieces have a Celtic root and while Christmas is not a Celtic holiday we have festivals that marked significant events in the Celtic year. Christmas is a Christian event that has absorbed many of the pagan/celtic traditions. Christmas matches the pagan festivals of the Winter Solstice and the Norse festival of Yule. 

Available in red, green, navy or purple 14 count Aida with lining,  Celtic Triskele hand stitched with Báinín cotton thread in a 2.5" or 3" hoop with velvet ribbon.

In Celtic tradition, the spiral reflects phases, often seen as the cycle of birth, life and death (re-birth). It represents the Triple Godess, Maiden, Mother and Crone. Reflecting the three major phases of a woman's life and connects to the cycles of nature, the moon, and feminine power. 

Newgrange, Co. Meath is where you can find the most iconic carved triskele in the world. Estimated to be over 5,000 years old ( older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids).
