Triquetra ( ; Latin tri - "three" and quetrus "cornered") originally meant "triangle" and used to refer to the various forms of three angles. It came to refer exclusively to the more complex form formed of three vesicae piscis (a leaf-like form between two equal-diameter circles when the two centers were in the circumference of another circle), sometimes with a circle additionally in or about three lobes. Also known as the "trinity knot" when double parallel lines are in the graph, the design is used as a religious symbol adapted from the ancient Pagan Celtic image by Christianity, as is common in Christianity. This is similar to the Odin symbol, valknut.
