The Celtic knot is a significant symbol that is also referred to as popular the mystic or endless knot, and the symbolism behind it involves beginnings and endings, or according to another interpretation, no beginning and no end. When we think about the Celtic knot, we automatically assume it originated as a Celtic symbol. While this symbol did begin to show up in Celtic art in the latter part of the 5th century, the spirals used in the designs have been recorded as far back as 600 BC. It is thought that the designs can be traced back to the ancient Romans, and even further, to Byzantine Constantinople. But, this intricate knot work wasn't fully developed until around 650 AD, when it was used to create biblical manuscripts by Gaelic monks in Ireland, as well as Britain.
