Did you know?
More than nine million Canadians claim Scottish or Irish heritage.
Emeralds are only found in a few places and, surprisingly, Ireland isn't one of them. Still, the gemstone has a long association with the Emerald Isle - a nickname that first appeared in print in the poem"When Erin First Rose" by William Drennan (1754-1820) -because it conjures images of the green Irish landscape.
"Triquetra" means "three-cornered" in Latin, and the symbol is also known as the Trinity Knot. It's hard to pin down an exact date but its earliest appearance in Celtic art is around the 7th century. Throughout history, the Triquetra has been assigned different meanings, including the HolyTrinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and the three-fold forces of nature (earth, fire, water); today, itis one of the most popular symbols of Celtic culture.
