Add a Quaich to your Celtic Wedding

Traditionally the "Quaich", which originated in the Scottish Highlands, was used both for a "Cup of Welcome" and also when offering a farewell drink.

The word Quaich is from the Gaelic word “cauch” which means “shallow cup”. The Quaich was originally made from the primitive "staved" wood and later from horn or leather; eventually pewter and silver became popular as it became the favorite drinking cup throughout Scotland. The distinctive design has remained the same over the centuries - a shallow drinking bowl with 2 handles, known as "lugs".

In modern times in Scotland the Quaich is used for sharing the whisky known as the water of life at wedding celebrations. The tradition is for the bride to fill the Wedding cup and pass it around all the guests in celebration of marriage.

Trinity Knot Versus Celtic Knots

I came across and article on eHow the other day discussing How to find “Trinity Knot Celtic Wedding Rings”. But what they described and pictures weren’t Trinity Knots they were of Celtic Knots. All Trinity Knots are Celtic Knots but not all Celtic Knots are Trinity Knots.

A Trinity Knot always has three points and taken from the word Triquetra meaning three (tri) and quetrus (cornered). The Trinity Knot is notably found in the Book of Kells.

The Trinity Knot or Triquertra symbol is used by Christians as a symbol of the Trinity (Father, Son and Holy Spirit).  A contemporary Irish meaning of the Trinity Knot is love never ending because a Trinity Knot has no end.
