If you are referring to the woven square knot that has 4 parts sometimes called a quadrequetta, this represents the 4 Gospels from The Bible and is found in "The Book of Kells" in many of it's beautiful illustrations. It also appears a couple of times in the Lindisfarne gospels in the borders and on facing pages. The 4 Gospels are Matthew (represented by a Lion), Mark (represented by a Bull) Luke (represented by a man) and John (represented by an Eagle). The 4 knot meaning that it has 4 parts, yet it is all one part complete when unravelled but endless (eternal) as it has no beginning or end, like Jesus who is eternal God without beginning, without end. The 4 symbols for the Gospels show 4 of His attributes, Matthew shows Jesus as the promised Lion of the tribe of Judah, showing from the Old Testament many ways He fulfilled the promised Messiah. Mark shows Jesus' life of ministry as a hard working & restless like a Bull which would have been used for hard labour due to it's strengh. Luke the physician's Gospel shows Jesus' human side, His family life, His geneology etc, therefore represented as a man. John's Gospel represented of by an Eagle starts high and lofty, in eternity before time, high symbolism, very spiritual. The Eagle has an extra translucent eyelid which stops the Sun blinding him, so he can look directly at the Sun, same as the Gospel of John, it looks directly at the light of men, the light of life, the glorious coming King and High priest, Jesus who was, is and always will be God the same yesterday today and forever. 4 views, four parts one complete and eternal intertwined pattern.
