i was wondering if someone could translate what the writing in this symbol means?i know that it’s celtic just don’t know what all of it means only some of it.here’s the link:
It says ‘Peace on Earth’ in a variety of different languages.
English is at the extreme right, the next one up (anti-clockwise) is ‘Tangnefedd ar y ddaear,’ which is ‘Peace on Earth’ in Welsh. Following along in the same direction, the next one is in Scottish Gaelic.
I can’t identify the other four, but they are without question Irish Gaelic, Manx Gaelic, Cornish & Breton.
As for the rest, they’re doves (Obviously the Christian symbol of peace), and some pretty generic and overused La Téne art. I doubt that it has any meaning, and if it does, it certainly isn’t relevant to the piece.
