Eagle - St. John - Folio 27V

Drawn from one of the iconic evangelist symbols of the Book of Kells, the eagle represents St. John the Evangelist — emblem of spiritual vision, divine mystery, and the soaring nature of Christ’s eternal Word.

Radiant with intricate ornament and sacred geometry, the eagle rises heavenward, reflecting the transcendent vision associated with John’s Gospel and the mystery of divine revelation.

The Trinity Knot on the reverse recalls the eternal unity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Hand-painted in enamel on traditional Palestinian hand-blown glass from Bethlehem, this ornament unites Celtic illumination with ancient Middle Eastern glassmaking traditions.
