Triangles are just about everywhere, from dollar bills to car dashboards. While many triangular symbols are linked to religious beliefs (like the Holy Trinity), there’s lots more to these sharp shapes than what meets the eye. In this article, we’ll break down exactly what all these different triangles represent, including alchemic and spiritual symbols.
Things You Should Know
- The triangle symbol is often associated with Christianity and the 3 parts of the Holy Trinity: God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
- The alchemic elements of fire, water, air, and earth are depicted with variations of upright and upside-down triangles.
- The Eye of Providence (an eye in the middle of a triangle) was used as a religious symbol for God in the Renaissance period. It’s commonly seen on the US dollar bill.
