Celtic Illuminated Art - Votive Candle Holders take the glow of candle light and directs it through a translucent design. The beauty and mystery of the flickering candle is still visable and causes the picture to glow. The rest of the candle holder is opaque with an unusual pearlized iridescent or a metalic finish that really looks like that metal.

This is a common, ancient celtic symbol and basic ideogram for a high spiritual dignity.
In Christian symbolism it represents the Holy Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Bishop Theophile of Antioch, who died in 186 A.D., is thought to have been the first to use the concept of the Holy Trinity.
OurIrish Trinity Symbol is colored in symbolic colors also, Red for power and faith and language of fire and blood, indicates burning charity and the martyrs' generous sacrifice, Blue -represents faith and trust, Green -hue of plants and trees, bespeaks the hope of life eternal. This process divides the white light into three main colors symbolic of the trinity of Father, Son, Holy Spirit or Red, Blue and Green. From the three colors red, blue and green, all other color sensations can be made. So in this simple example of white light, we can see how unity was divided into individual unique qualities. Because white light can not exist without it's opposite (darkness) black, we have the first duality or polar opposite from a common undefined source. Thus our Trinity Symbol is inside a white circle on a black iridescent background.
