This trefoil shape also includes a descending dove; a reference to Christ's Baptism. |
Trefoil (from Latin trifolium, "three-leaved plant", French trèfle, Italian trifoglio, German Dreiblatt and Dreiblattbogen, Dutch klaver,
"clover", same as clubs) is a graphic form composed of the outline of
three overlapping rings used in architecture and Christian symbolism.
The term is also applied to other symbols of three-fold shape.
