Celtic Maternity Knot

Celtic Maternity Knot

Celtic knots, called Icovellavna, include many knots used to decorate the Celtic style of island art.

Complicated celtic maternity knot symbolizes the bond between mother and child, or, in Christianity, the Madonna and Child.

The meaning of the Celtic motherhood knot is the enduring love between mother and child, faith in God and Celtic heritage.

Symbol of imperishable love

Whatever your personal faith and beliefs, this Celtic symbol depicts the unbreakable, endless bond of love and life.

Traditionally, the Celtic motherhood knot consists of two hearts connected without beginning or end.

One heart is lower than the first, and children are often indicated by a dot, heart, or other symbol inside or outside the heart. As the family grows, more symbols can be added to represent each child.
