The symbol has been interpreted as representing the Holy Trinity, especially since the Celtic revival of the 19th century. The original intention by the early medieval artists is unknown and experts [who?] warn against over-interpretation.

This diagram consists of four nodes, generally circular in shape, interconnected by six links. The three nodes at the edge of the diagram are labelled with the names of the three persons of the Trinity, traditionally the Latin-language names, or scribal abbreviations thereof: The Father ("PATER"), The Son ("FILIUS"), and The Holy Spirit ("SPIRITUS SANCTUS").
Baroque Trinity, Hendrick van Balen, 1620, (Sint-Jacobskerk, Antwerp) Holy Trinity, fresco by Luca Rossetti da Orta, 1738–39 (St. Gaudenzio Church at Ivrea).

Amen.'
For his subjects, Roman Emperor Theodosius I restricted the term "catholic Christians" to believers in "the one deity of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity", and applied the name "heretics" to others (Edict of Thessalonica of 27 February 380). [23]
In late Renaissance European iconography, the Eye, surrounded by a triangle, was an explicit symbol of the Christian Holy Trinity. [15] The Eye of Providence was later painted above an image of three faces in Pontormo's 1525 Supper at Emmaus. [5] Seventeenth-century depictions of the Eye sometimes show it surrounded by clouds or sunbursts. [16]
The Holy Trinity by St. Andrei Rublev, using the theme of the "Hospitality of Abraham." The three angels symbolize the Trinity, which is rarely depicted directly in Byzantine art.
