Crucifixion of Jesus in the Roman province of Jerusalem and starts the spread of Christianity
Caratacus leads the British Celts
Boudicca leads a failed rebellion against Rome. The Celtic culture starts to become assimilated with Roman culture
The Roman Empire collapses and in the Dark and Middle Ages various different cultures merge in the lands of the Celts and the history of
each country changed accordingly.
The Celts lived across most of Europe during the Iron Age. Today the Celts live in Wales, Ireland,
Scotland, the Isle of Man, Cornwall and in Brittany, France. Their culture lives on in language, music,
song and literature
The Celtic knot symbolizes the Thread of Life. To the Celts, the human soul was thought to be a fragment of the divine, which
will ultimately return to its divine source. Through successive rebirths the soul rids itself of its accumulated, inherited impurities
until it finally achieves the goal of perfection.
The interlaced, or latticed, knotwork patterns, with their unbroken lines, symbolize the process of humankind's eternal spiritual
evolution. When the cord is unravelled, it leads us on. A knot lattice can be used as an aid to concentration by occupying the
conscious mind with a demanding repetitive task.
