celtic knot ceremony

Celtic knots are beautiful, mystic and intriguing.  These knots have been engraved into crosses, and designed into pieces of jewelry, art and even tattoos.  Although the symbolism of the celtic knots were never recorded, scholars and theologians believe they know what these knots mean.

They have been called eternity knots and are said to symbolize two souls intertwined and bound together in an everlasting love. The interlooping paths of the knots imply a theme of eternity.  As you follow the strands of the knot you will find no beginning and no end suggesting a complete and endless love.   Because of its beauty and symbolism the celtic knot has been twisted into wedding bands and would be an artistic addition to a wedding ceremony.

An idea to incorporate the celtic knot into your ceremony would be to create an eternity knot stencil before the wedding day.  The stencil would be placed on a canvas or thick card stock at the altar.  The couple could trace the stencil, brush stroke by brush stroke, using a dark colored paint pen.  While the couple creates their eternity knot the officiant will elaborate on the meaning and metaphors surrounding the celtic knot.

The framed ceremony knot will always serve as a reminder of your special day and your endless love.
