The triskel (triskelion / triskele) is an ancient triple spiral motif.
It can be found carved into the rock at prehistoric sites such as Newgrange in Ireland as well as at sites in Galicia and Portugal, and at ancient sites of asian cultures such as in Japan, China, Tibet and Korea.
It eventually became incorporated into celtic culture, taking on new meaning for the early celtic christians as a symbol of the Trinity.
It is the traditional symbol of Sicily (trinacria), the Isle of Man (triskelion) and Brittany (triskel), and has strange links with the british “tinners rabbits” (three hares) of the tin-mining areas of England's Westcountry.

Le triskel (triskelion / triskele) est un ancien motif de spirale
triple qu'on voit souvent sur les pierres aux sites préhistoriques. (Newgrange en Irlande, Galicia, Portugal, ainsi qu'aux monuments historiques des cultures asiatiques - Japon, Chine, Tibet and Corée).
Plus récemment le triskel est incorporé dans la culture celtique, et le symbole de la Trinité pour les premiers chrétiens celtiques.
C'est le symbole de Sicile (trinacria), de l'Isle of Man (triskelion) et de Bretagne (triskel). En Angleterre (Tinners Rabbits) et en Iran on le voit sous forme de trois lièvres. |
