26 West – Triquetra and Circle
Al Hinson – Donor
The triquetra, from the Latin adjective triquetrus “three-cornered”) is a triangular figure composed of three interlaced arcs, or (equivalently) three overlapping lens shapes. It is used as an ornamental design in architecture, and in medieval manuscript illumination. Its depiction as interlaced is common in Insular ornaments from about the 7th century. This triquetra is further interlaced with a circle, or halo, binding the entire figure together, over a field of blues, a common abstract symbol for the Trinity.
Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit. —Matthew 28:19
