Symmetrical figures of three are called Triskelion. They are quite common in the Celtic culture. But why do we find one here in a medieval Christian church of Central Europe?
The symbol of the hare might refer to Easter. Then this Triskelion might refer to the Holy Trinity. The „shared“ ears would then be a symbol for unity of the trinity. Trinitarian concepts have always been quite difficult in the Christian religion. Symbols are one possible way to approach this mystery.
Another way of approach is enjoying the craftsmanship and beauty of the architecture.
Actually this panorama was taken on the feast of Corpus Christi, the first Thursday after the feast of Holy Trinity.
